Product Management: the intersection of User Experience, Business, and Technology. There’s probably not a plethora of Product Managers who have a background in quality assurance or testing software, but I’ve found many similarities in the skill sets needed for both of these roles.

What is the role of product manager in engineering?
Product managers define the “why” and the “what” that engineers will build. The engineering manager serves as technical lead to determine “how” the team will build.
