Technical Product Management: An Introduction

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. A technical product manager (TPM) oversees the development and strategy of technical products. They occupy a cross-functional role, bridging the gap between business, technology, and user experience teams to guide product development, prioritize features, and ensure that products meet both business goals and customer requirements. In this course, you will explore technical product management and differentiate product management from project management. Then you will identify key internal and external stakeholders, discover the main responsibilities of the TPM, and examine the technical product management skill set. Next, you will focus on the challenges that TPMs face and take a look at implementing compliance in the product life cycle. Finally, you will investigate the day-to-day activities of the TPM, beyond the priority of the day, and learn how to implement design thinking during product development.
