PMPrep -Technical Deep Dive for PMs (Posts 10-12)

The technical skills that make or break PM careers.

Most PMs avoid technical topics and hit a career ceiling. These 3 posts fix that.

What's included:

Post 10: System Design for PMs

• API basics and database fundamentals
• Scaling decisions (vertical vs horizontal)
• Real conversation scripts with engineers
• The BookMyShow Coldplay crash case study

Post 11: Working with Engineers

• How to scope features without looking clueless
• 4 types of engineers and how to work with each
• Technical trade-off frameworks
• Templates for feature planning and estimation

Post 12: Data Architecture Decisions

• How data flows through your product
• SQL vs NoSQL decision frameworks
• Real-time vs batch processing choices
• Data quality checklists and red flags

Why this matters: Senior PM roles require technical fluency. You can't set product strategy without understanding technical constraints.

Perfect for:

• Engineers transitioning to PM roles
• PMs wanting to level up technically
• Anyone interviewing for senior PM positions

Result: Work more effectively with engineering teams and make informed technical decisions.

The technical foundation every PM needs.
