Anyone working with software developers will find it hard to connect and communicate if they don't understand tech. There are other benefits to understanding tech too. You can build empathy for the development team working day and night with you. This creates mutual trust and respect, which makes it easy to work and get work done. Having tech understanding also helps in building your confidence as a PM.So it is no wonder that all the product leaders and CEOs of tech companies understand tech very well, even if they didn't have a degree in Computer Science or a background in coding. Excelling on the job requires them to do it.There are so many good reasons for learning tech, but not every PM does that. The reason is that it's hard to learn tech on your own. There aren't many resources designed for PMs to understand tech. In the absence of proper guidance and resources, it takes years of study to build an understanding.
