Technical Program Management

Manage complex technical dependencies. Master cross-functional execution, architectural alignment, and delivery risk management at scale.

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) are the glue of large engineering organizations. Unlike standard project managers, TPMs must understand the architecture to manage dependencies. This course teaches you to drive cross-team execution for complex releases. You will learn to map technical dependencies, manage architectural risks, and facilitate 'Scrum of Scrums'. We cover communication strategies for keeping stakeholders aligned and methodologies for managing programs that span infrastructure, product, and data teams.
