    Don’t you really know rthe difference? They are not the same at all, although a CSBB is expected to know some PM techinques. I suggest looking at the contents of some online courses or books to get a feel for what they are about.

    Hi I’ve done both, PM and then SS, and PM does cover some different areas which I think are assumed as understood in SS e.g. project planning, documentation and contents of communication. So from what I’ve seen the SS certidication trumps PM certification.
    So unless you like taking exam and sitting infront of boards I wouldn’t bother with the certification sidebut doing a course if you think your weak in this area is probably a good idea.

    Managing projects is of course a portion of the MBB’s skill set. The same cannot be said of PM’s i.e. statistical analysis and problems solving tools and techniques is rarily in the professional PM cirriculum.
