Managing Programs

I effectively partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Product Marketing teams to define strategy and requirements for product and program execution.

I have proven my capacity to own and execute on multiple programs simultaneously.

I can translate business objectives into execution strategy, lead and successfully execute the strategy through strong collaboration and agile leadership.

I create functional specs, project definition docs, release plans, and roadmaps.

I lead and influence peers and stakeholders in identifying risks, drive change in behavior, process, technology, documentation standards and policy.

I effectively influence cross functional peers, product managers, and engineering to build consensus while dealing with ambiguity.

I develop strong partnerships with business and functional leaders to drive focus on strategic program business objectives and optimize program throughput.

I understand complex issues and apply simplifying frameworks to facilitate broader organizational understanding, decision-making, and action.

I manage project operational aspects, scope, change management, and track scheduled progress through the appropriate metrics to meet changing needs and requirements.

I am proficient in working with engineering teams to design, scope, and shepherd feature execution.

I work on specific features/modules of the product, roadmap, project management, issue/risk management and cross division coordination.

I regularly and clearly communicate progress, risks and difficult trade-offs to my manager and more senior Technical Program Managers.

I ensure the quality and maintainability of my work. I follow my team’s best practices.

I am responsible for the project assigned to me and it would require my working closely with engineers and more senior TPMs on the project or program.

I own planning for long-term, multi-phase programs accounting for all aspects of development, release, and maintenance.

I understand many of my team’s cross-functional dependencies deeply and can effectively communicate about them to individuals on my team and others.

I understand the pain points of my customer and am able to translate them into problems my team has to solve

I provide valuable input to Managers to ensure high impact activities are prioritized and staffed.
