Foreign language or Product knowledge, which is more important?

International Development Resource Management

Nabeel Mirza Senior Director Strategic Programme Management| Afiniti Dublin, Ireland

Consider a scenario in which a software product is to be deployed in a foreign country with a different spoken language.

The best case answer will be to have a bit of both (language and product knowledge). However if you have to lean more towards one, then what do you consider more important, whether it will be a PM with a local language proficiency or a PM who has command over the product to be deployed?

I see where one young boy has just passed 500 hours sitting in a treetop. There is a good deal of discussion as to what to do with a civilization that produces prodigies like that. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take his ladder away from him and leave him up there?
