Bowl Leader
Definitely, I would expect them to be knowledgeable on the crux/soul of the product if not every feature.
As a product leader I need to be able to understand how our systems work inside out and backwards, as well as communicate functionality to technical and non-technical groups. While I don’t know everything a software engineer knows, I do need to understand certain technical concepts and be able to articulate those. Yes, even at an executive level.
Depends if that software/app/feature was within their scope. E.g. are you referring to an internal or B2B software product, and they focus on consumer facing products? Everyone can't know everything, even at the leadership level. And they shouldn't, esp if they've built a solid and trustworthy team.
That sounds weird. Especially at the executive level. Like, how did they get to that point without actually having experience and knowledge of the product?
Bowl Leader
Are they new to the company, product or the role itself?
Pro
It takes a good 2 plus years for me to really know the ins and outs of a product/service and to be able to intuitively speak for the product. It really depends on the complexity/scope of things but 1 yr is really
not enough.
