Would hands on experience matter or certifications suffice for a starting position like analyst?

For front end MC role PMP, Scrum master might help. Tableau not so much (I mean as an MC you hardly have time to do this and it get passed on to other teams, and as your position rises you might not be required to do this at all, maybe an analyst might prepare and send it to you)

As far as I think, honestly on the job learning from project is highest and slowly you can move towards a domain or two specialisation. I don’t think so there is any course that can help, spend enough time on that already

Anyone's thoughts on Scrum Master?

It is a good to have kind of thing... Scrum Master roles are in demand right now but I think the growth in these roles is pretty limited. Rather than Scrum Master (CSM), a Scrum Product Owner course (CSPO) would make more sense if you love being a contributor to the product rather than just being a facilitator.

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.
