What is the best Agile certification to get?

Selecting the appropriate Agile certification hinges on your occupational role and career targets. Developers may benefit from the Scrum Master certification or the Scrum Product Owner certification. To get a broad understanding of Scrum, the Scrum Essentials certification is suitable. Those with experience may pursue a SAFe® certification. For workflow improvement, consider a Kanban certification.

Project managers might find the AgilePM certification or PRINCE2 Agile certification more beneficial, with options for both Foundation and Practitioner levels. The PMI®-ACP certification requires attending 21 hours of Agile training as well as having 2,000 hours of experience in Agile practices.
