How essential are domain expertise in managing a product?
Image courtesy: Fusion VenturesRecently I asked this question on my LinkedIn feed and yet to get a single reply. I have been pondering over it by myelf for some time. If you recollect the core product management skills preached around, those are hardly specific to a domain or industry.What has been your experience as a contributing product manager, or what have you seen in other product managers around?Like in sales, marketing, or accounting, are product management skills portable across domains and indutrries?Cheers,Ranjit
YouTube is a product I would love to manage. It's a product I feel taken for granted considering the recall value it has but on a stand-alone basis it has a lot of issues. From explicit content issues to pathetic 'sort by content ' rankings. Apart from this they have not opened it for external developers to the extent that they should. Considering he engagement and how much customer preferences data it generates it had its own challenges and one could learn a lot from the same I would love to work on it.
1. An open API for integration so that I can fetch profiles based on some search criteria. This will open up the LinkedIn profile search feature for other ATS's in the market. Another big revenue generating feature.
2. A live video broadcasting feature so that events like TechCrunch Disrupt, Fireside Chats/Panel Discussions, industry-specific events can be subscribed to and I can watch without joining the event in-person. This can be Pay-Per-View model.
