I think it depends what you want out of the certs. If you could add that to this post I think that would help guide people’s answers. Ultimately, in my opinion, nothing beats PM work experience when going into interviews.

If you are looking to add some letters after your name I’d recommend these in no particular order:
- Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)
- Project Management Professional (PMP)
- Project Management Institute Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)
- Safe Product Owner/Product Manager (Safe POPM)

My VP keeps asking for next year’s roadmap but every week wants it formatted differently and it’s driving me crazy. They don’t seem to know what they want and I have so much else to do than tweak the layout and colors and notations a few times each week. When I’ve asked what format and level of info the CTO prefers, my VP says they don’t know and I need to be okay with ambiguity. I’m losing any patience and good will I had.

I need some advice. Where does the accountability sit for determining resource allocation of engineers? For background, we’re working on a feature for a customer which has meant the team working on it have had to borrow engineers from another engineering squad to aid with build. I’m being asked by the engineering manager when she’s getting her engineers back.

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
