[TriLUG] How useful are agile certifications?

[Bill Trautman via TriLUG]

Nathan,

I would suggest going on a few job sites and finding the jobs you like.
Have a look at the requirements.   That should give you a good Idea of what
is valued right now.

3 general classes that seem to be in a number of the jobs I see (software
companies and IT shops):  1) agile,  2) PM  3) Security
