Role Overview
The role of the Technical Program Manager is to coordinate several software projects at the same time. The TPM will deliver the right product, at the right time, with the right quality. In order to achieve this, a TPM will do whatever is necessary, except for technical designs and writing code, which are developers’ tasks.
The Technical Program Manager (TPM) will:
• Expand on the product development to create functional specs. These are detailed descriptions of what functionalities/stories the product needs to implement.
• Perform testing and bug triage: the TPM ensures that the development team is putting in place any appropriate testing procedure, beyond the basic level of unit tests and continuous builds. The TPM regularly triages the bugs to adjust priorities and ownership as needed.
• Make the release happen; which involves working with the development lead/manager to ensure the development is happening on time and with other team to ensure that the dependencies are put in place as needed.
• Help to prepare the release, if necessary. This may include helping to put together internal or external documentation, providing training/presentations, tracking dependencies to other products, helping product management with product rollout, etc.
• Keeping product management and upper management informed about the progress of the release and of any roadblocks. One of the essential parts of the TPM role is to recognize problems early and work towards resolving them.
• Keep the other teams informed about the product being developed, and at the same time develop awareness about what’s happening on the other teams.
• Last but not least: perform any other day-to-day tasks to ensure that the development team is happy, productive, and focused.
The TPM decides:
• The overall schedule and internal milestones of the release
• Whether the release is ready for launch (this includes whether the release has been sufficiently tested/is stable)
• What needs to be delivered by external dependencies and when
• How bugs are prioritized (does this together with Product Management for larger bugs and for features)
• What the priority of "internal" tasks should be (e.g. refactoring existing code)
Depending on the area of their teams, the TPMs are also responsible for prioritizing and scheduling any internal/infrastructure projects that do not have a direct product manifestation (e.g. log transport mechanism, migrating from SQL to Couch DB, etc.).
