I studied something completely different (political science, german language and literature and history) but then somehow got into the world of it. <br /><br />The strengths of a PM is communication, translation (techtext into marketingtalk and vice versa), etc. When it comes to decisions about databases, coding language, etc. I ask my team, they're the experts.<br /><br />I'm doing this job for almost 10 years and never had a problem. The secret is imho to always show real interest in anothers way of thinking and really be attentive when someone is explaining something.<br /><br />It's the human factor that decides about the success of a project, not (only) the technical knowledge.connymaniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946288204704968638noreply@blogger.com
