5. What are the main strengths and limitations of the specialization?

Strengths:

  • Crafted by IBM and taught by industry experts, delivering a structured, tool-based learning path with real-world relevance.
  • Includes a capstone project and Scrum Master practice exam for added reinforcement.

Limitations:

  • Lacks advanced frameworks like SAFe or LeSS that are used in scaled environments.
  • Not a substitute for official Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential, which requires separate registration and training.
  • The certificate may attract attention, but hands-on experience is still essential for hiring.
