How would you define technical product management?

I'll answer this question in combination with "How is the role of technical product manager different than other product managers?"

There is likely no formal definition of ‘technical product/program management’. Like I mentioned earlier, it is this fungibility aspect that makes this role a much sought after one in the industry right now. While a traditional product manager focuses on building products to solve consumer (or business) problems, a technical product manager takes it further to tackle highly complex technical problems in the pursuit of doing so.

Typically a technical product manager thrives in product areas with high technical complexity:

• Platform/Infrastructure areas
• Any product or program that requires massive cross-org/cross-company effort
• Deep technical areas such as Integrity, AI/ML
