Is npdp certification useful?

NPDP is one of the three major product manager certifications in the world, which is awarded by the old American Product Managers Association (PDMA). From the perspective of recognition, this certificate is very sexual, and the gold content is still relatively sufficient.

NPDP is the certification of the whole industry. The course content is aimed at new product development, and the process inside is more general and rigorous. The reason is that some large-scale products, such as IT projects, manufacturing, engineering project research and development, need standardized processes to control risks, so the role of NPDP is highlighted. If you are a product manager now or will be engaged in the position of product manager soon, and your job is to develop new products, then NPDP certification is very suitable for you.

If you are not sure whether the NPDP certificate is useful in China, you can definitely tell you that the product management processes of most IT companies in China are IBM's, and the vice chairman of PDMA is IBM's. Do you feel the content is more grounded? On the other hand, NPDP certification has a long history, and it is based on Prven (Apple, Microsoft, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other certification companies are one company), with high gold content.

In terms of difficulty, the passing rate of the first two years of the exam has been relatively low because there is no preparation materials. Since 20 16, there are as many as 7 reference books, and the exam questions are not entirely from reference books, so the pass rate in the early stage of the exam is not high, even those who have been engaged in new product management for many years are not easy to pass.
