b"In each of my CSM and CSPO classes someone asks \\u201cShould I still get PMP?\\u201d\\n\\nIn this podcast I got the chance to check in with Jesse Fewell on the value of certification. Jesse and I have been friends since 2008 when we both started working on trying to find ways to get PMI to pay attention to Agile. We both come from a traditional background, have been heavily involved with PMI and now make a living teaching Scrum certification classes. \\n\\nJesse and I debate the answer to the PMP certification question and along the way, discuss our differing views on the value of PMI-ACP, CSM and CSPO certifications. These are things we don\\u2019t always see eye to eye on, so regardless of your viewpoint, there is sure to be something in here to help you see things from a different perspective. \\n\\nWe also have a brief conversation about what do to about PMO\\u2019s in Agile organizations.\\n\\nNote: You may hear some odd background noise. This time it isn't me slurping coffee \\u2026 #blamethefidgittoys\\n\\nShow Notes\\n00:08 Podcast Starts\\n00:34 An update on Jesse\\u2019s recent and upcoming Agile PMO sessions, VirtuallyAgile.com and his Certified Agile Leadership Training classes\\n07:53 Does PMP Certification still matter?
