Hi @Nikhil Bajaj9 

you might consider the following certifications to enhance your skills and career prospects:

1. ]Expand your expertise with certifications like CIS-SecOps, CIS-CSM, or CIS-HRSD, depending on your organization's needs.

2. Certified Application Portfolio Management (APM) Specialist: This can be valuable if you're involved in managing and optimizing IT assets and applications.

3. Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) or other Agile certifications: Helpful if you work in agile environments or oversee agile projects.

4. Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO): For strengthening your project management skills.

5. Advanced ITIL Certifications (like ITIL Managing Professional): These can deepen your understanding of IT service management.

Choosing a certification depends on your career goals, current role, and the direction you want to take within the ITSM and IT management fields.

It depends what kind of projects does your team do? for example, if you see a whole lot of HR projects, then do HRSD certification. 

But personally I feel it's good to have Discovery certification. My justification is that your ITSM sits on top of CMDB. And everybody needs to have good knowledge on CMDB.

Hi @Nikhil Bajaj9 

We are kind of in same role and I will say, now instead of focusing on certs, foucs on learning and experience. I will not say don't do certs, but before that try to work in that new domain which can provide you idea about Pratical.

If you ask me and other say, go for HAM and SAM and GRC.
