I am interested in obtaining an entry level certification for SCRUM. So far, I have come across two certifications:
 
Certified Scrum Master (CSM) provided by Scrum Alliance 
Professional Scrum Master (PSM) provided by
Scrum.org
Does anyone have any input or suggestions for which certification is worth the cost? Maybe also which organization is regarded as standard by the industry.

Certified Scrum Master (CSM) vs Professional Scrum Master (PSM)

Scrum is a term that refers to an agile framework for managing work-related tasks. It’s usually implemented in IT or technology companies where work involves the development and release of products, software, updates to existing systems, and websites. Departments using this framework break down their work into actionable tasks to be completed within a set period of time. The Scrum framework has evolved to be used in other innovative industries.

Scrum

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Project management is the discipline of carefully projecting or planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.
