Additional Qualifications

certified Project Management Professional

Project Management Institute (PMI) - Certification 2004 - re-certified till 2026

Project Management Professional is an internationally recognized professional designation and certification offered by PMI. The process for becoming a certified Project Management Professional involves a review of prior education and work experience as Project Manager followed by a written examination. Certification has to be renewed every 3 years by collection education and give back credentials.

certified Scrum Master

scrum.org - scrum master certification in 2016

Scrum is facilitated by a scrum master, who is accountable for removing impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the product goals and deliverables. The scrum master is not a traditional team lead or project manager, but acts as a buffer between the team and any distracting influences. The scrum master ensures that the scrum process is used as intended. The scrum master helps ensure the team follows the agreed scrum processes, often facilitates key sessions, and encourages the team to improve. The role has also been referred to as a team facilitator or servant-leader to reinforce these dual perspectives.

certified Scrum Product Owner

scrum.org - scrum product owner certification in 2016

The product owner represents the stakeholders and is the voice of the customer, who is accountable for ensuring that the team delivers value to the business. The product owner writes (or has the team write) customer-centric items (typically user stories), ranks and prioritizes them, and adds them to the product backlog. Scrum teams should have one product owner, this role should not be combined with that of the scrum master. The product owner should be on the business side of the project, and should never interfere or interact with team members on the technical aspects of the development task. This role is equivalent to the customer representative role in some other agile frameworks.
