For professionals aspiring to take on the PfMP, it represents far more than just a certification—it is a comprehensive methodology for strategic portfolio management. PfMP fills the critical gap between vision and execution, enabling leaders to drive transformation not only with agility but also in the right direction. With only about 1,700 holders worldwide and just 9 in Taiwan, its rarity highlights its value. The exam is roughly 1.5 times more challenging than PMP, but its logic is clear and well-suited for experienced senior executives. My advice to candidates is to prepare your PfMP application first, then dedicate two months to structured study. If your goal is to lead enterprises toward more stable transformations, align strategy, and amplify your influence, PfMP is unquestionably a milestone worth pursuing.

This fracture became one of the greatest tests of my life. The moment I fell in July, I heard the sound of my bone snapping, and the doctor told me it would take three months to recover. But just one month later was the PM-ABC 20th Anniversary and the Global Agile CEO Awards — how could I possibly be absent?

Fortunately, I met Dr. Pin-Chuan Chen at Taipei City Hospital, whose skill and compassion made all the difference. He freed me from the cast in just three days, and, against all odds, I was back on stage in only five weeks.

Behind the flawless ceremony were countless rehearsals and tireless efforts from my team. Many saw my confidence on stage, but behind it were pain, perseverance, and unwavering support. This experience reminded me that gratitude and courage are the true forces that carry us through even the toughest challenges.

這一次的骨折，對我來說是人生的一場大考驗。七月跌倒的那一刻，我聽見自己骨頭斷裂的聲音，醫生更告訴我需要三個月才能復原。但一個月後，就是長宏二十週年與全球敏捷 CEO 大獎，我怎麼能缺席？幸運的是，我遇到一位有醫德的陳品全醫師(聯合醫院)，讓我在三天就脫離石膏，並在五週內奇蹟般站回舞台。

過程中，靠團隊無數次演練，才讓典禮看起來完美無缺。很多人看到的是舞台上的自信，但背後是痛楚、努力和守護。這段經歷提醒我懷著感恩與勇氣，才是帶我走出困境的真正力量。

對於想挑戰 PfMP 的專業人士來說，這不只是一張證照，而是一套完整的策略管理方法論。PfMP能補足企業從願景到落地之間的缺口，幫助領導者在推動轉型時，不只是快速應變，更能走在正確的方向。全球僅約1700人持有，臺灣只有9人，證明其稀有與價值。考試難度大約是PMP的1.5倍，但其邏輯清晰，適合有經驗的高階主管挑戰。我建議準考者務必先準備好PfMP履歷，再投入兩個月系統化學習即可。若你希望未來能帶領企業完成更穩健的轉型、對齊策略並提升影響力，PfMP絕對是值得投入的里程碑。

In 2014, I earned my CSM certification — and even back then, I found the rule requiring an 18-month wait to renew quite strange.
For the next ten years, everyone quietly accepted it — myself included.
But over the past two years of promoting CSM, I saw motivated learners being blocked by the system when trying to renew early. That’s when I decided: no more silence.

I wrote to the CEO of Scrum Alliance, shared a video and evidence explaining the issue — and to my surprise, it took just four months from proposal to policy change.
One letter changed the renewal policy for all CSM holders — and every Scrum Alliance certification worldwide.

When I saw the “Renew” button appear on a learner’s dashboard, I was genuinely moved.
This wasn’t just a technical fix — it was a true expression of the Agile spirit:
Identify the problem, take courageous action, and create real change.

Now, learners can begin the renewal process just 30 days after earning their certification.
You’ll find your expiration date under “My Certifications” on your dashboard, and all it takes to renew is submitting your SEUs and paying the renewal fee.

Even better — you also have the option to take any Scrum Alliance certification course to renew.
Once you complete the course, all your previous certifications will automatically extend to match the new one’s expiration date.
The system will also send you reminders, so you never miss a renewal.

And most importantly, I hope every learner remembers this:
You are not someone bound by systems — you can be the one who changes them.

我在 2014 年拿到 CSM，那時就覺得「要等 18 個月才能換證」這規則很奇怪。十年來，大家都默默接受，我也一樣。但在推廣 CSM 的這兩年，看到學員想提早換證卻被系統擋下，我決定不再沉默。

我寫信給 Scrum Alliance CEO，提供影片與證據說明問題，沒想到從提出到制度修改，只花了四個月。一封信，改變了全球 CSM跟所有Scrum Alliance證書的換證規則。

當我看到「Renew」按鈕出現在學員帳號裡，我真的很感動。這不只是技術改進，而是敏捷精神的實踐——發現問題，勇敢行動，創造改變。

現在，學員在獲得認證後30 天內就會開啟續證資格視窗。你可以在儀表板的「我的憑證」中看到到期日，只要提交學習時數（SEU）與續證費，就能完成續約。

另一個好消息是：你也可以選擇報名任何一門 Scrum Alliance 的認證課程來完成續約。只要完成課程，你過去取得的證照就會自動延長，有效期限會延續到新課程的有效期為止。系統也會主動發送續約提醒，不用擔心忘記。

我希望每位學員都記得：你不是被制度限制的人，你可以是那個推動改變的人。

To me, this book is more than just a publication; it represents a dream, a vision with profound implications for Taiwan's agile ecosystem. Can you believe that within just five short months, the book has undergone nine printings? That's why I've decided to translate it into English because I believe the world needs to see the dedication and effort Taiwan has put into the agile ecosystem.

大家好，我是Roger老師，台灣首位取得Scrum Alliance官方認證的Scrum培訓師（CST）。想和大家分享我在CEO CSM 第四梯培訓過程中的一些心路歷程與感悟，以及最新的消息與成果。

Is It Really Possible to Apply Agile in Government Projects?
This article documents an Agile Alignment Workshop hosted by JRS (Party B) with participation from the Examination Yuan (Party A). It marked the first time a cross-system Agile dialogue was established between a government agency and a vendor.
The workshop not only dismantled common misconceptions between government procurement regulations and Agile practices, but also guided both parties through hands-on exercises—translating the original Statement of Work (SOW) into user stories and a product backlog.
The event proved that government contract mechanisms do not inherently reject Agile. What’s often missing is simply a shared platform for mutual understanding.
For government agencies new to Agile, this represents an opportunity to explore flexible execution within existing frameworks.
For private-sector vendors, it’s a crucial first step toward building trust and achieving effective collaboration.

在2022年，我是RSG TAIPEI的主辦者，一場在全球引起關注的大型敏捷聚會。我們締造了888人的參與紀錄，並突破了以往僅限於IT產業的敏捷觀念，推廣到了各種非IT產業，這不僅是台灣，更是全球的一大驕傲。此次盛大活動不僅帶來了全球的目光，也為我們帶來了五十萬的盈餘。
