Product Owner vs Project Manager, what’s the difference? Seems there is none, as many orgnizations just rename roles from one to the other. The cases of renaming that I’ve seen, were one way from Project Manager to Product Owner. That’s a pity as both are distinct roles which require different profile to fill the roles with quality.

Many Project Managers often wonder whether it is worth getting the Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI). This is partly due to the cost and the complicated examination and time involved in attaining the certification. To begin with, the certification carries some amount of prestige and no doubt beefs up one resume. It is a huge asset to have as you advance in your career. It also enables one become better prepared to handle lucrative job opportunities. You are likely to be hired as a project manager over someone who doesn’t have the certification. A project manager with a PMP certification besides their name has extra credibility which is important when dealing with new clients.
