Should Product Managers be Business Strategist or Technologist?

How Product Managers spend time?
Product Strategy comprises 70 % of the Product Management Framework. However, Product Managers are spending more than 90% of their time on Technical and operational activities. 
If Product Managers spend more time on Strategic activities, then Customer-centric products are built. 
 
In 2018, Mckinsey Product Management Index highlighted the typical time spent by Product Managers on various activities.
The results were:
 
  • Product Managers spend 60% of their time on Technical Activities
  • Only 30% of the time is spent on Business Strategy
In 2019, Pragmatic Institute’s Annual Product Management and Product Marketing Survey also highlighted the same results:
  • Product Managers spent only 27% of their time on Strategic activities and 73% of their time is spent on Technical activities.
In Software Product Management does Product strategy take a back seat?
Technical Skills are awesome, but what does it take to go from good to great?
 
More time on Technical activities leads to
  • Engineering driven Products
  • Low customer satisfaction
More time on Strategy & Analysis leads to
  • Customer-centric Products
  • High Customer Satisfaction
To be a successful Product Manager, Technical skills alone won’t suffice.
