一句话：通过行业问卷调查识别软件产品经理的21项关键能力与10项团队价值因素，为课程建设提供依据。
软件产品经理对软件产品成功至关重要，但其研究与教育材料仍处起步阶段。本文旨在理解软件产品经理的教育需求，以及将其嵌入软件团队的价值。作者调查了59名软件产品经理和63名软件工程师，回复来自至少24家公司，识别该角色所需的重要主题、技能与能力。结果表明，产品经理的价值在于为团队提供方向与计划、为决策提供背景，并有效跨利益相关者沟通；新人需兼具技术与非技术能力，尤其要擅长人际沟通、理解技术氛围，并从愿景与战略中提炼产品感。论文最终给出21项关键能力和10项价值因素，为未来软件产品管理课程奠定基础。
Software product managers have become critical to a software product's success. They act as a liaison among various stakeholders - software engineers, management, and customers - to ensure a product meets customer needs. Despite the role's rise in popularity, research and related educational materials are just emerging. In this paper, we aim to understand the educational needs of software product managers, and why embedding them in a software team is valuable. To do this, we collected survey responses from 59 software product managers and 63 software engineers, with responses from at least 24 companies, to identify the topics, skills, and abilities that software product managers find important for the role and the value they provide to software teams. Our results reveal that a software product manager's value stems from their ability to provide the team with direction and a plan, give context for decision-making, and effectively communicate across stakeholders. To support this, someone new to the role must have competencies in technical and non-technical areas. A software product manager must excel at interpersonal communication, understanding the technical atmosphere, and deriving product sense from a vision and strategy. This paper provides the groundwork for future software product management curricula by identifying 21 key competencies and 10 factors to describe the role's value in software teams.
