Still not convinced? Let’s dive deeper and see why training Puppet training is so important.

Boost productivity

Companies can lose money when people make mistakes. Ever have a sysadmin configure something improperly, or miss a key piece of Puppet code? This happens. If you are properly trained on how to use Puppet for configuration management in your software workflow, both your productivity and your company’s revenue will improve.

Preserve Puppet knowledge

Do you have a Puppet guru in your company who's the single knowledge source? What happens if they leave? That valuable information disappears from the company when they walk out the door. Treat your Puppet knowledge like the valuable asset it is, and ensure all your Puppet users have the same high level of skill, rather than letting it live with just a single Puppet expert.

Align your Puppet processes

Your Puppet users come from different backgrounds, and in many cases, this could lead to the creation of a Frankenstein-like Puppet implementation, instead of the implementation you envisioned. Without a clearly defined process and a team that has access to the same resources to enhance their Puppet skills, you can waste a lot of time. You need to guarantee that everyone sticks to the same Puppet best practices, and Puppet training will align everyone to these.

Onboard people better

Don’t leave your team to sink or swim without any guidance. If they don’t get trained, you risk eroding the standards you’ve established with Puppet. Ensure new team members get trained on how to use Puppet properly, right from the start.

Earn employees' loyalty

Training reduces mistakes and stress, making your team happier, more productive, and more loyal to the company that's helping them learn and grow. It’s also far more cost-effective to train and retain your people than to rely on continually recruiting new staff.
