Technology is advancing rapidly, and workflows are becoming more Agile day by day. There is a need for new methodologies and innovations for the smooth progression of work every passing day. Businesses strive to deliver the highest value to customers and in pursuit of doing so require professional POPM certified individuals.

The SAFe POPM certification is centered around preparing individuals to carry out two of the most significant responsibilities - Product Owner and Product Manager. This training and subsequent certification by Skillbook Academy will provide individuals with a professional identification of how to manage work schedules, handle backlogs, and bring the product to vision. 

In this article, we will be discussing the benefits of Product Owner certification, and how this will help you advance your career growth. Continue reading this article, and scale up your career like a pro! 

## Benefits of POPM certification 

A POPM certification provides several benefits not only to individuals but also to the organization as a whole. Let’s take a quick look at the major benefits of the certification. 

### Quality 

SAFe POPM training encourages individuals to focus on agility without sacrificing quality. The certified individual understands the importance of defining the output and success parameters based on the clarity of job roles. They learn how to ensure that team members focus on aligning the team toward the common enterprise goal. 

SAFe POPM encourages individuals to use a five-dimensional approach that incorporates flow, architecture, design, code, system, and release quality. These functions ensure that excellence is achieved at every level. Further, they encourage team members to deliver high-quality products that match the needs of the user. 

### Increased productivity 

When it comes to an agile mindset, cadence is one of the most important components that increases work efficiency. A certified POPM strives towards creating a rhythm that lowers uncertainty and complexity, higher muscle memory, and higher quality output. 

These POPM-certified individuals are capable of developing well-trained workers who work with precision and increased productivity. The synchronized way of working ensures that productivity is optimized, and resources or time are not wasted while overcoming hindrances quickly.

### Better decision-making 

A POPM should possess extremely high-level decision-making skills for managing the workflow in an organization. The SAFe POPM training provides individuals with the necessary resources to improve their decision-making skills. Further, the training enhances their understanding of multiple assets such as finance, operations, marketing, sales, and strategy. 

SAFe POPM prepares individuals with skills that help them understand customer insights efficiently while focussing on customer experience. They put together data and analytics to make the right decision based on the urgency of the task. Further, decision-making skills come in handy during brainstorming sessions. This ability helps in aligning the overall business in line with the ever-changing customer needs.

### Efficient partnership 

Agile workflow focuses on collaboration, where daily meetings are replaced with conscious and productive ceremonies. Daily scrum meetings are one such ceremony where the team members meet for a quick decision about individual task progression. 

Further, the SAFe POPM training encourages individuals to decentralize decision-making, thereby, giving equal opportunities to team members to work in autonomy with product leaders. The team members are encouraged to make enterprise-level or strategic decisions for the overall betterment of the company. 

### Transparency in workflows 

Agile teams require open communication and transparency for smooth and continuous working. Although different changes happen during the planning, training, and executing stages SAFe principles focus on trust-building behavior for increasing the visibility of the backlogs. 

### Better planning and execution

With iterative deliveries, product managers are trained to focus on reflection. This increases responsibility and accountability, ensuring these certified individuals showcase planning and reflection at all levels. By providing equal access to knowledge about the current and future goals of the organization, they ensure that the alignment of the people, their activities, and the overall business progress is in the right direction. 

### Effectively managing stakeholders

Stakeholder management plays a crucial part in business development. Aligning both the external stakeholders and the internal stakeholders comes in as the key focus of SAFe POPM training. These certified individuals have the knowledge and resources to align stakeholders together with the product vision for the successful delivery of products. 

### Better Value 

Another key aspect of POPM certification includes providing individuals with the ability to maximize the value of processes, products, and human resources. This training and certification program focuses on achieving the delicate balance between predictability and market responsiveness. 

The SAFe POPM training emphasizes choosing the right tools, strategies, and information for automating the entire process. The abundance of tools equips individuals with the skills necessary for typical business applications.
