PMP is the right choice when you have checklist management. However when change is introduced trad. project management aims to manage the change process. Entrepreneurial or agile ways adapt with the changes as much as possible. Agile trainers get more income if they offer Certificates but the training is the same if they don't. The checklists and certificates tether to situations. Situations change. Agile development avoids using trad. project managers. A truly entrepreneurial company will avoid being tied to a fixed plan or fixed project management thinking.

Many long time practising PM's fail in the PMP, because PMP has a PMI and best practice orientation to it.

It is scalable and applicable to any industry.

The PMI code of ethics makes you an honest, truthful still an achieving PM.

PMP has become a must now for Sr. level positions and it does help and add weightage to your profile
