CSM vs PSM: What are they and How do they Compare?

CSM – Certified Scrum Master – and PSM – Professional Scrum Master – are two of the most widely known scrum certifications. What are they? And how do they compare? [CSM vs PSM]
The Scrum Guide tells us that…
‘Scrum is a framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products. Scrum is not a process, technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment.’
Professional Scrum Master certifications are available through Scrum.org.
Scrum.org describes PSM I as evidence that you have a fundamental level of Scrum mastery. You have demonstrated that you understand Scrum and how to apply it in scrum teams.
Certified Scrum Master certifications are available through ScrumAlliance.org.
ScrumAlliance describes CSM as an ‘intro course for those wishing to fill the role of Scrum Master or Scrum team member.’

A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list.
