A strong project manager resume summary names your methodology (Agile, Scrum, waterfall), the size and budget of projects you've run, and one delivery outcome — on-time rate, budget savings, or team size led. Certifications like PMP or CSM belong in the first sentence.

If the posting says Scrum, say Scrum — not "Agile methodologies". If it's a waterfall shop (construction, gov), lead with schedule and budget control instead.
Name project budget, team size, and duration closest to what the posting describes. A $10M program lead summary can read as overqualified for a $200K project role — tune it.
PMP, CSM, PRINCE2 — if it's in the requirements, it goes in your first sentence, because that's what the screener is scanning for.

Methodology, scale (budget, team size), and one delivery outcome — on-time percentage, savings, or slippage reduction. Add your certification (PMP, CSM) in the first sentence if the posting requires it.
Use budget managed, number of concurrent projects, team headcount, and delivery metrics (on-time rate, schedule variance). Pick the two numbers that best match the role's scale.
No — outcomes beat certifications. If you don't have a PMP, lead with your strongest delivery result and the methods you actually used.
Yes. Agile roles want ceremonies, velocity, and cross-functional facilitation; traditional roles want budget, schedule variance, and vendor management. Same experience, different vocabulary.
