Product vs. Program vs. Project Management | Variety of PM Roles Part I
Understanding the difference between roles associated with the acronym “PM” can be a challenge! In this module, we’ll break down the distinct responsibilities of Project Management, Program Management, and Product Management, helping you navigate what to look for in job descriptions and interviews.
Here’s an overview:
1. *Project Management* focuses on coordinating tasks and timelines to ensure everything is on track, with primary stakeholders often within the business itself.
2. *Program Management* oversees multiple projects aimed at a larger goal, often working with external partners to deliver results across teams.
3. *Product Management* drives product strategy and development, with a focus on delivering value directly to customers.
We’ll dive into the four main aspects—stakeholders, strategic influence, success metrics, and autonomy—to highlight the differences between these roles. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what each role entails and what to watch for in job listings!
