Get it if your company will sponsor. Otherwise, it’s on the lower end of in-demand certifications at this point. Was hot about a decade or so ago.

I enjoy when someone says they’re a black belt in a meeting. Any certification will help you stand out as a PM. PMP is another solid one. I am not a project manager but work with many. I’d be interested in others advice as well.

From what I understand, some very valuable info, processes, etc. there. Like anything (e.g. Agile) at times can be over-baked or distorted.

Working on my green belt now. Not sure how much it will help me but lots of good information. Depends on what area of work you are managing projects in. Manufacturing? Probably a good idea.
