What does a program manager do that project managers don’t do?

A program manager typically takes a more holistic approach to managing multiple projects, as opposed to a project manager who focuses on a single project. Program managers may be responsible for the oversight of multiple projects, and their responsibilities may include:

1. Developing and executing a program strategy.
2. Establishing standard project management processes across multiple projects.
3. Coordinating and managing resources across multiple projects.
4. Developing and maintaining relationships with stakeholders.
5. Establishing and implementing program governance.
6. Developing and tracking program budgets.
7. Facilitating communication and collaboration between project teams.
8. Identifying and mitigating risks.
9. Evaluating program performance and making recommendations for improvement.
