How does Technical PM differ from PM?
1 Answer
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Director of Product Management • July 19
PMs in most technical organizations work with technical teams, so the difference really stems from the customers of your product. Technical PMs typically work on technical products. Typically, your customers are a technical audience (e.g., developers) and you need to have the tech skills to communicate with them.
