Why Is Software Product Management a Job of Tomorrow?
Technology has pervaded every aspect of modern life. It has largely replaced cash with credit cards that can draw funds electronically from bank accounts, replaced beepers with handheld mobile phones that can not only instantly connect callers, but also act as a tiny web browser and gaming system, and pushed globalization into overdrive through the World Wide Web. With personal computers as common in businesses as pots of break room coffee, the race is always on to push computer technology further. The technological boom shows no signs of slowing down, with new software being cranked out every day. It is little surprise that with the amount of competition to push the latest and greatest software, that software product managers are finding their workload increasing. Employment opportunities for software product managers expect to grow 28 percent by 2016, according to CNN Money. Software product managers make an average salary of $106,000 annually.
