How does Lightcast define a skill?
Platform Product Management

Platform Product Management refers to the practice of defining, planning, and coordinating products that serve internal or external user groups through a shared platform. The skill involves balancing business goals, user needs, technical constraints, and platform capabilities to shape product direction and priorities. In work settings, the skill is applied to set roadmaps, coordinate with design, engineering, and operations teams, and evaluate whether platform improvements support scalable delivery and consistent user experiences.

Product Leadership refers to the ability to guide the vision, strategy, and direction of a product throughout its lifecycle. It is used in work settings to align priorities, coordinate cross functional teams, and make decisions that balance user needs, business goals, and available resources. The skill includes setting clear objectives, monitoring progress, and adapting plans as market conditions and product requirements change.

Product Roadmaps refer to visual tools or documents outlining the strategic plan and direction for a product's development. They provide a high-level overview of features, milestones, and timelines. This skill is essential for product managers and development teams, offering a clear framework for communication, alignment, and decision-making throughout the product lifecycle. By utilizing product roadmaps, stakeholders can better understand the product's evolution, anticipate releases, and align development efforts with overall business objectives.

Strategic Roadmaps refer to visual representations that outline an organization's goals, objectives, and the steps required to achieve them over a specified timeframe. This skill encompasses the ability to analyze current conditions, identify future opportunities, and develop actionable plans that align resources and initiatives with strategic priorities. Knowledge of Strategic Roadmaps is used to guide decision-making, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and ensure that all efforts are directed towards common objectives.

Voice of the Customer (VoC), which refers to the process of capturing and analyzing customer feedback, is used to understand customer needs, expectations, and experiences. It involves collecting input through surveys, interviews, reviews, and other feedback mechanisms. The skill supports decision-making by identifying patterns and insights that inform product development, service improvements, and customer experience strategies.
