The role
What a programme manager actually does, day to day.
As a Programme Manager or Director, you lead large projects for an organization. You break the work into smaller parts, assign people to each part, and make sure everything happens on schedule and on budget. You work with many different teams - some building part A, some building part B - and you keep them all talking to each other and moving the same direction.
You hold meetings to check on progress, handle problems when they pop up, explain what is happening to senior leaders and to the people doing the work, and make changes when things need to shift. You manage money, work out if the plan is realistic, spot risks before they become real problems, and help your teams celebrate when they finish something well.
