Blackblot Product Management Professional™ (BPMP) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Introduction

Overview
Becoming certified is an investment in one's career. It may open new career or business opportunities that were previously unavailable as one demonstrates a commitment to one's profession. Being certified allows companies to differentiate candidates in the hiring cycle and instill better consistency in the internal application of the product management discipline.

In response to growing demand, Blackblot has developed the Blackblot Product Management Professional™ (BPMP) certification program using an industry-recognized process and professional Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). The program's curriculum is based on Blackblot's product management seminars and industry expertise.

Product management has reached relative maturity and acceptance as an evolving art and science, but with limited subject matter consolidation and opportunities at certifying expertise. Now, with a credible and targeted certification, product management professionals have a way to differentiate themselves, validate skills, and gain professional recognition.

The Blackblot Product Management Professional™ certification program Frequently Asked Questions (BPMP FAQ) web page is periodically updated.

BPMP Certification Program Benefits

What are the benefits of becoming BPMP certified?
Being certified is an investment in one's career and professional advancement. It demonstrates to employers, peers, and customers a designated level of knowledge in product management and allows an individual to provide evidence of merit to potential employers.

Why should employers encourage and fund employee certifications?
Many employers view certifications as an employee benefit and believe that certified employees are more productive and are faster at completing job tasks. Also, the existence of certified employees in a firm is often leveraged in corporate marketing.

Do certified employees earn more?
Although not a guarantee, studies have shown that many certified individuals see a salary increase following successful certification completion. Certified employees in the technology industry may earn on average about ten percent more than those not certified.
