%X <span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\">This study dispels the misconception
that product managers are responsible for the entire product management framework.
The software product manag</span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\">ement framework encompasses
diverse functions across departments, including engineering, finance, legal, sales,
marketing, customer service, and</span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\"> support. Managing all
these functions independently is deemed impractical for a Product Manager. The research
aims to elucidate the specific activities, </span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\">respo<span>nsibilities, and accountability of software product
managers (P</span>Ms) within the diverse organizational landscape. It focuses on
understanding the interplay between strategic product managers, technical product
managers<span>, and oth</span><span>er cross-functional roles. Utilizing a systematic
literature review, th</span>e product life cycle model, and the Responsibility,
Accountability, Consulted,<span> and Informed (RACI)
technique, this study analyzes stakeholders¡¯ roles in product management. The investigation identifies 19 key
activities for PMs. The study introduces two frameworks, the Software </span>Product
Manager Life Cycle Model (SPM-LCM) and Software Produc<span>t Manager RACI Framework (SPM-</span></span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\">RF), outlining the comprehensive role of Software
Product Managers. These frameworks clarify product managers¡¯ roles, res</span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\">ponsibilities, and accountabilities, illustrating their interaction wit<span>h cross-functional groups and providing an in-depth
understanding of their functions.</span></span>
