Hi all,

Is my assumption correct that scrum.org is more standardised than scrum alliance when it comes to beyond Scrum?

For example:

Scrum.org follows the Nexus Framework for scaling Scrum.
Within Scrum Alliance the trainers seems to have there own way of scaling Scrum. (Spotify by Hendrik Kniberg, LeSS by Bas Vodde etc.)

Scrum.org has Agility Path
Scrum Alliance, no idea?

PST's all operate from the "tools" from scrum.org. If you look on YouTube all videos are based on materials from scrum.org, while CST's all seems to have their own creative solution for problems.

The Scrum Alliance has sanctioned LeSS as an added qualification:

Limited prospects for recertification fees?

Hmmm find it a bit strange seeing that Ken and Jeff work very closely on scrum and related topics.
What does this mean for scrum.org and alliance? Different vision?

Scrum.org and Scrum Alliance has a different vision since the beginning. So does Scrum Study and other Scrum organisation. :-)

What's the main diff between scrum.org and scrum alliance?
Don't really care about Scrum Study and other organisations ;-)

You can read Ken Schwabers take on the issue here.
https://www.scrum.org/About/Origins

As of 2014 scrum.org and scrum alliance agree on the scrum guide being the definitive definition of scrum http://blog.scrum.org/announcing-scrumguides-org/

Ken founded the Scrum Alliance and Scrum.org I am certified from both but my preference and recommendation that I give people I talk to is Scrum.org is the superior organization and the future. The Scrum Alliance is certification crazy at this point and is becoming more and more about marketing than moving things forward IMO.
