Are there any Certified SCRUM Masters, or Certified SCRUM Product Owners here?

I just got the certifications and I am wondering if it would be worth it take the more advanced courses (paying out of pocket).

CSM and CSPO here. I recommend that you practice the methodology for a couple of years before revisiting this question. Training workshop would not replace real experience in the trenches. You will get a lot more out of the advanced courses with real practical knowledge.

Thanks, I’ve practiced the framework through my time at my agencies, however I’m noticing some Executive CDs maybe didn’t understand it since their mind had project managers inside participating in sprints and being active throughout the process.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
