I believe that the vast majority of product managers who want to work as a product manager or who are new to the industry will ask this question: do you need to know the technology to be a product manager? How much do you need to know? How to start learning skills? What qualities do you need to be a good product manager?

Today, the editor of the tie Line CRM system will talk to you in detail about whether the product manager needs to know the technology.

Do you want to know the technology?

Product managers are also divided into many types, and different types of product managers have different technical requirements. Generally speaking, the product manager's knowledge of certain skills is beneficial to his work. Please read on for the reason.

Why do you need to know the technology?

Product managers learn some technical knowledge, nothing more than the following three points:

1. Realize barrier-free communication with technology. You have to know about asynchronous notifications, callbacks, ajax, etc.

2. Consider the realization of the product more deeply. Simply judge whether the scheme is feasible from a technical point of view, so that the plan is not always overturned and the demand is always changing.

3. Improve work efficiency. If you can query the database, you don't need to bother the developer. If you can program simply, you can deal with specific files without manual processing. At a higher level, do a regular task to get the data you need to see every day and send it to your mailbox, which you can see on your way to work every day.

How much do you need to know?

If you know why you need to understand technology, you will know how much you need to know.

Generally speaking, I personally think

Minimum requirement: can communicate with technology barrier-free, it doesn't matter if you don't know a little bit, ask more.

Basically qualified: you can think about the technical implementation process, how the various interfaces are called, and how the data is accessed.

Excellent level: can speak a programming language, enough to use; proficient in MySQL sentences.

What is recommended to learn?

1. Database related knowledge: mainly understand the difference between relational database and non-relational database, and master MySQL query sentences skillfully.

Mastering the query operation of the database can still bring a lot of convenience to the work, for example, when the technology is busy, there is no need to bother the technical elder brother, so as to avoid being disliked. If there is some data that needs to be analyzed on a regular basis (such as looking at it every day or fetching data from the CRM system for analysis every week), you can achieve a scheduled task to get the required data out.

2. Master a programming language, java which is widely used at present, python which writes more crawlers, and node.js that takes all the front and rear ends.

You can write Mini Program or interfaces. For example, there are articles about × × numbers and bank card number rules in my Zhihu column. Can you write a small script according to these rules to automatically determine whether it conforms to the algorithm? For example, if I give you a card BIN database, can you write a card information reading interface?

3. Sometimes grabbing a bag can also be a skill of the product manager, although it is not required to know it, but it is relatively easy to learn. You can still learn it. Charles is recommended by the bag grab tool.

What are the ways to learn technology?

1. Traditional books can also learn and ask questions with the help of the Internet, which is not introduced too much.

2. As a product manager, how can the ability of self-study be bad? there are many popular answers in Zhihu.

Don't forget that there are so many developers around you, all of them are your teachers, it doesn't matter to ask more questions, it's not convenient to ask in public, you can ask when you eat together, posture is very important, ask for more advice.

4, reptile learning method, that is, in the process of learning to find a certain knowledge, in fact, there will be other related techniques, you can learn along the vine, so the learning speed will be very fast.

It should be emphasized that learning these skills is based on mastering the core competencies of product managers (demand mining, logical thinking, etc.) as the premise, do not give up priority, let alone be bound by technology.
