Ask HN: What does HN think of certifications like TOGAF, ITIL and CBAP?

I'm a business analyst consultant in Canada, and looking into certifications. Thanks fr your input.

My boss was big on TOGAF and ITIL, at least the concepts behind them. He would always talk our ears off about Margaret Thatcher and the origin of ITIL. In 4 years of working for the company we never got farther than talk. Meanwhile we were able to get agile and scrum up and running in a few weeks.

haha I see. I'm a contrator in the Govmnt, they use scrum and togaf here. But yeah I guess it's a thing in big organisations. Thanks for your input.

Not that useful as there’s a shift towards agile and scrum.

That's true there is a big shift toward srum. I'm actually consulting as a PO.
