Five foundational skills define success
No two days as a PM are the same, but there are 5 critical skill areas that PMs can't succeed without.
The PM-STAR certification consists of 5 examinations that measure foundational skill required to succeed in conceptualizing, prioritizing and building software.
Logical Reasoning
The ability to reason about abstract concepts, cause and effect and the relationships between entities.
Communication
The ability to express complex thoughts clearly and succinctly to a variety of audience types.
Research Synthesis
The ability to synthesize data from user interviews, market and competitor analysis into clear problem statements and solutions.
Quantitive Ability
The ability to conduct algebraic, statistical and calculous operations to better understand business and usage patterns.
Technical and Design Ability
The ability to understand and materially contribute to the software design and technical development process.
Get recognized with PM-STAR
Unlike Software Engineers and UX designers, Product Managers don't have an established skillset, which makes it hard to identify good PMs during the interview process.
PM-STAR aims to solve this problem by providing strong PMs a credential that proves they have the concrete skills required to lead a software development team.
Certification exams are held monthly in cities around the world. PM-STAR has 5 subcomponents, each demonstrating your mastery of a different foundational skill.
