Product Managers and Technical Skills

Successful product managers come from a huge variety of backgrounds. They bring unique and varied skills to the table, yet everyone seems to focus largely on technical skills.

 ‘Technical Skills’ mean the following:

  • Coding/Programming languages: HTML, CSS, Javascript, C+, and Python are the most common for beginners.
  • SQL : Used for data management and manipulation.
  • Data structures and algorithms.

Products are built for everyone and should be built by everyone. According to Harvard Business Review, recruiters will be looking for talent outside of the usual clusters, helping to bridge the gap.
