When do you need a Technical Product Manager vs a Product Manager?
1 Answer
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Director of Product Management • July 21
In general, you need technical product managers when the PMs need a deep technical understanding. In most cases, this is because the customers of your product are technical.
PMs who aren't technical will be unable to effectively manage a product whose customers are technical folks like developers. There can be situations where your direct customer might not be tech folks, but the product is sufficiently complex and the PM needs to understand enough of the product to be effective.
