CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT! Storytelling skills for product management and product marketing are essential because without them, the value context (why the market cares) of what you’re building, marketing and selling is completely masked. That mask is usually in the form of technical product jargon and/or a lot of superlatives (best-in-class, intelligent, actionable, optimized, etc.).
