PMs can often be seen as championing a very particular set of solutions or a single solution. But I would almost say, maybe this is contentious, that's probably not the forte.

Data gets accessed and used in an organization through a variety of different tools (be they built, bought, or both). That work can be quick and smooth, or it can be tedious and time-consuming. What can make the difference, in modernspeak, is the specifics of the "data products" and "data platforms" being used for those tasks. Those specifics, in turn, often fall on the shoulders of (data) product managers!
