Is it possible to switch from a career in enterprise systems consulting (ERP/CRM) to product management? What skills are transferrable and what skills need to be developed to make the switch?

Not sure myself but I’ve heard this is one of the better fields to make that switch and I’ve seen a few threads on this topic before try give them a search

If you are switching to an ERP or adjacent product then its possible. If you do not have the tech skills - then its very very unlikely. Product Mgrs know the space really well, the market really well, existing solutions, and the nitty gritty of the problem you are solving.....also they are good project mgr, and get people to follow them.

Could you please elaborate on the technical skills?
