Scrum Master hands down. That’s what’s gotten me on an engagement that I love.

If federal > PMP & Scrum master
If non federal > Scrum master is fine but a SAFe cert would be better

PMP

Pmp is pretty sought after in the federal space. Smaster is sought after most places but the market is pretty saturated.

My csm has mostly allowed to be to get certain opportunities I wanted. My pmp, let me leverage my position for promotions and other management roles. I'm and advocate for both but when comparing the two the pmp is seen as a "higher" level (for lack of better terms) certification than a csm.

There are requirements you have to meet for the PMP. I don’t think there’s any for CSM. In the federal space, they’re still asking for PMP certs. I don’t think CSM is super relevant or valued.
