I would add a very important dimension to successful product management. The essence of product management is understanding the customer’s problem and creating value for the customer through the product. It is crucial that this value creation happens in a way that is commercially sustainable for the company. Now that securing funding has become much more challenging, this has become even more critical, although, from a business management perspective, it has always been important.
I have a slightly different view on the categorization of product manager profiles. I believe that every product manager must understand their customer/user and their problem space. The classification presented here seems somewhat artificial to me. However, depending on the product and its specific life cycle, a product manager's focus does naturally vary. I believe that one of the key qualities of a good product manager is the ability to recognize what is most important at any given moment and to direct both their own and their team's attention accordingly.
"Tech organisations very well can succeed without a product manager, but not without product management". Touché.
