I don't see it that way.

Certification isn't a test that you'll keep a boss happy. It measures
that you know the right way to do it. The right way is always right
and whether you employ the right process or not, its still the right
way. The boss' way is right under a snapshot of coditions, one of them
being he's the boss.

Example.

I may know that to do a doc project right is THIS way and it contains 10 steps.

However, the Boss says, he doesn't have the time or resources to do
step 3, 6, 7, and 9.

It doesn't mean that the correct way isn't still all 10 steps. It
means I know what the steps are and I can say "OK, Boss, I'll skip 3,
6, and 7, but remember, you hired me for what I know and I know that
step 9 cannot be missed...let's find some other place we can trim some
resources."
