Does the database design matter to product managers?

Not usually, but it can vary. It can be simpler to communicate with developers and establish confidence if you are aware of the ramifications of specific database formats and APIs.

If I hadn’t been able to comprehend various components of the database and how they related with one another, I don’t believe I could have been effective at my previous employment. It became a bigger issue when there were certain organisational changes. I don’t know how to talk to some of these guys, the chief of the development team said at that moment. We can discuss the potential effects of modifications if I design some database structures for you to grasp while we are speaking. When I describe it to others, they don’t comprehend, and I have no idea how to execute it.

A situation quite similar to APIs existed. Being able to examine the current APIs, comprehend how to translate customer expectations into API requirements, and discuss the effects of various implementation possibilities for new ones were all very beneficial.

Schemas and API documentation were never presented to me at past employment until I actively asked to see them. When I asked to see them, the devs were astonished because they had left that information out. This appears to be the more typical circumstance.
