The role of a product line manager does not take on which of the following responsibilities?
A.
This role does not work with vendors pertaining to products.
B.
This role will not be involved with software license issues.
C.
A product line manager will help the company make decisions on technology refreshes.
D.
This role delegates data owner responsibilities.
Explanation:
This role does not work with vendors pertaining to products.
The product line manager does work with vendors explaining business requirements.
How about “D”? The double negatives in the first two make this a really confusing question, but I think the negatives cancel each other out such that those are true statements.
Product Line Manager
Responsible for explaining business requirements to vendors and wading through their rhetoric to see if the product is right for the company
Responsible for ensuring compliance to license agreements
Responsible for translating business requirements into objectives and specifications for the developer of a product or solution
Decides if his company really needs to upgrade their current systems
This role must understand business drivers, business processes, and the technology that is required to support them.
The product line manager evaluates different products in the market, works with vendors, understands different options a company can take, and advises management and business units on the proper solutions that are needed to meet their goals.
Agreed. D is the right answer. Why would a product line manager be involved with data ownership responsibilities?
