Scrum vs. PMP: Which One Actually Works?
How I went from an $88k coordinator to a $142k leader in 7 months
Back in January 2025, I was a project coordinator making $88k in Dhaka, stuck doing old-school waterfall projects at a bank.
We always missed deadlines.
The higher-ups were mad.
My team hated those endless status meetings.
I knew the PMP stuff, but felt lost every single day.
Every project started with someone saying, Let's try agile this time.
I kept wondering, like tons of others:
Scrum or PMP - which one will help me when I go to work?
Then, I found this free guide from 591Lab:
Scrum vs. PMP - which has better real-life application?
[https://591cert.com/scrum-vs-pmp-which-has-better-real-life-application/]
I read the whole thing in one shot.
When I finished, I thought, I need both - but in the right order.
The guide gets straight to the point in about 3,200 words.
No BS, no sales pitch.
Just facts from 2025 about jobs in Asia, plus stories from students and a side-by-side comparison.
This table from the guide changed everything for me.
