- 7. Who is a Technical Product Manager? “A technical product manager often describes a business role that is mainly focused on technology as opposed to a technology role that has no responsibility for a product’s market success.” Specifically, it describes a Product Manager who has a technical background and/or works on a technology product. It does not describe a Product Manager who needs to actually perform technical tasks, such as software architecting and coding.
- 8. What is a Platform? “A platform is more like an electrical outlet with the potential to easily plug in as many tools as you need.” Products require integrations, sometimes custom and complex ones, to connect different tools, but platforms are designed from the start to help different tools work together and share information more easily.
- 9. What are APIs? API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you’re requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you.

- Product School’s Product Management Certificate Path comprises of 3 part-time courses for professionals with strong technical or business background who want to further explore Product Management at software-based companies.

You’ll then be trained to retrieve data, understand its value and make impactful decisions with SQL, data visualization and Tableau. Learn to understand your users to deliver exceptional UX/UI design and develop a robust digital marketing plan. During the Full Stack Product Management Training, you will deep dive into the technical knowledge to enhance your ability to work with agile teams. Finally, Product Leadership Training will elevate your product knowledge to become an effective Product Leader.
