Clarifying the role
Programme vs project management.
While a Project Manager focuses on delivering a single project on time, a Program Manager governs a portfolio of inter-related projects — aligning them to strategic business outcomes and managing interdependencies, shared resources, and stakeholder ecosystems at scale.
