Is there an order or progression to certification?

On this page I see 6 https://www.scrum.org/professional-scrum-certifications including Developer....Agile

Is there a progression to these? Should any of these be taken before any others, or is it equally valid to start with any of them.

Thank you.

It 100% depends on your goals and role within the team. I started with my PSM because I wanted to be a Scrum Master. Were I geared towards being a PO, I would have started with the PSPO. I am now working as an Enterprise Agile Coach and planning to work through getting my PSPO, PSK, PAL and PSM2 this year. There's not much a need or value add for me doing the Developer cert since I am not, nor do I ever plan to be a developer.

I recently read an article about the best was way to get all Scrum.org certifications:

What do you think? Makes that Sense?
