MBA Technical Product Management

A technical product manager (PM) is a product manager with a strong technical background that is typically focused on the more technical aspects of the product. A technical PM works more closely with the engineering team than the business, sales, and marketing teams of the organization. Technical product managers are typically only present when the product management team is large enough to support specialization. While this is sometimes achieved by simply divvying up responsibilities for different products or features among the team members, they tend to be assigned to areas demanding a more rigorous understanding of technical issues to be successful.
