The Program Manager part of TPM involves scheduling creating milestones and reporting status.

As part of your project and program ownership you focus on the larger business and technology picture (i.e. customer experience processes opportunities and/or problems to be solved). You deeply understand the business and technical requirements of the solutions being built and drive the right outcomes. You take the time to understand the needs of engineers (who have to build what maintain and extend features for the life of the project). You help your customers and the engineering teams make appropriate tradeoffs by considering the larger picture (e.g. business goals user experience dependency impacts efficiency availability).
