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.
