So what do you think of this list? It’s not a bad list, but I’m surprised no one mentioned business skills and sales skills! Does that mean they are not important, or are not an issue with most PMs, or simply that they just weren’t mentioned?

I suspect this indicates that many product managers are more involved with the technology of the product than the business of the product. And “sales skills” doesn’t mean “selling product” skills but “selling ideas” — to sales people and execs and the market.

What do you think is missing?
