What does this work involve?

IT and technical project managers help teams plan and complete work such as software releases, integrations or migrations. Program managers often connect several related projects to a wider goal. Both roles need to understand risks, tasks that depend on other work and decisions that need agreement, without taking over the responsibilities of engineers or product teams.
