I’m in my first “product management” role. Through a side project at work, I was able to get an Agile Product Owner certification. What I actually do in my job though aligns with the Scrum Master/Leader role. I have the opportunity to do a training and get certified in that role as well - is it worth doing or does it look unfocused to have multiple certs across roles?

I don’t think there’s any harm in being certified as an SM, especially if you see yourself moving into that role in the future. Both roles are in the product management family, and many SMs move into PM roles and vice versa.

I don’t think it looks bad at all. Product varies so much company by company - broader knowledge can be very useful.

Rarely does having certifications hurt you, though it doesn’t necessarily help either
