Scrum projects are managed quite differently than traditional project management methodologies.

There are no project managers - instead their are ScrumMasters, whose primary job is to remove impediments for the team. They also are supposed to help the team be accountable to themselves.

Today if you want to be considered at the top of the project management field, it is essential to be PMP certified.  It demonstrates your commitment to your career choice as well as signifies your experience level and ability to undertand the project management body of knowledge.

Also increased awareness and demand for PMP's (Certified Project Management Professionals) has helped standardize project management education around the globe.
