Fairly valuable if project management is what you want to do. I got a PMP last year as an SC and it helped me get promoted to manager at the beginning of this year. Wasn’t a major factor in determining promotion success I’m sure, but it’s one additional data point on top of your body of work to help make the case that you are moving in the right direction and can take on more responsibility in a project management role going forward.

Go for it!
