Are product management certifications worth it?

They may be worth it, if you want your profile to stand out, but not so much when it comes to helping you achieve success in your careers.

Product leaders hiring for product management roles, want to know if the candidate has actual experience developing and launching a product. (This could be any position in a product team, ie: Software Engineer, QA, Designer etc.) Not knowledge from a class, a book or course.

Why? Because the real world is very different from the ideal situations that most certification courses teach.

I have a few certifications myself, and honestly, the only thing that they certify is that I can sit through a 2-day course and write an examination.

As a matter of fact, in my experience interviewing for jobs and hiring candidates, the discussion of certifications has never come up, not even once.
