Seeking Insights on TPM Roles in the ServiceNow Domain

[swarupamp]

Hi ServiceNow Aspirers,

I'm Roopa, and I'm keen to understand the job prospects for a new Technology Project Manager (TPM) in the ServiceNow domain. Could anyone share their insights on this?

I'm considering pursuing the Associate TPM ServiceNow course and would love to know more about the market demand for this role and the prerequisites.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards, Roopa

Hi @swarupamp 

Greetings!!

I’m currently working as a BPC and handling closing work with TPM in my account. The role is definitely good, and there’s demand in the market, but I wouldn’t consider it like the traditional project management role. It’s more on the technical side, where sometimes you need to challenge teams on timelines, but the ultimate goal is the timely delivery of projects. In this role, relationships and communication matter more than technical skills.

If you ask me, I’d recommend starting with a BA/BPA role, which is more in demand right now. Once you gain hands-on experience with the platform, you can switch roles later. But, again, these are just my thoughts!

Hi @swarupamp 

I've completed all three stages of the TPM journey.

It's a great program but the truth is it (especially the Associate level) will only give you introductory knowledge of TPM in the context of ServiceNow, and you won't even end up with a certification (just a badge). 

The best starting point for a ServiceNow career is the Certified System Administrator certification, so I recommend you focus on that first. Fortunately, the mandatory course for the CSA is also part of the TPM Associate journey, so you can kill two birds with one stone.

Happy studying and best wishes with your career!

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the input.  I have just started the TPM (Associate level) so I will keep my next learning as CSA instead of going further levels in TPM, at least for the time being.

TIA
