While a technical background is a mandatory prerequisite for becoming a product manager, there are some technical skills worth having in your toolbox as a PM. The good news is you don’t need to go back to school to master these technical competencies either. The skills we’ll discuss in this article won’t put you in competition with your engineers or make you smarter than your system architects. But they WILL make you faster, more independent, and more knowledgeable about your product and your users.

There’s a strong chance you and your dev team are already relying on Jira for backlog management of technical projects, assigning bugs and scheduling sprints. And while Jira can be fantastic for managing these aspects, it has downsides as a thorough system of record for product management; most importantly, Jira often becomes a dumping ground for feedback and ideas without any purposeful priorities. A black hole of input makes Agile development methods really tricky.

COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works for the support team at Hiver and most of the world alike. With social isolation becoming the need of the hour, we transitioned into a remote team overnight.

Customers are all that really matter. You can build the slickest products in the world and offer seemingly amazing services, but if people aren’t buying and using them, it’s all for naught.
Internal stakeholders talk about customers all the time, but rarely beyond the anecdotal or hypothetical context. “I heard” or “I think” customers want something is about as deep as most folks go. But, to provide a solution that is valued, loved and appreciated, companies need a far deeper understanding of what customers really desire and care about. This insight can’t be stored in isolated pockets of the company, nor can organizations rely on a single “customer expert.”
