Challenges of Technical Product Management

In technical product management, there is a focus on specialized knowledge and less on traditional customer discovery. Technical product managers are expected to have deep subject matter expertise and address complex technical problems such as security, performance, and scalability, making customer research less applicable in certain cases. Product strategy teams may need to complement the technical focus with additional expertise in areas like market research and strategy.
