The Technical Toolset

In this chapter, I’ll make the case for the technical toolset. Introduced in Chapter 2, Pillars of a Technical Program Manager, the technical toolset is a foundational pillar for a TPM. It is the connecting glue between the other pillars (program and project management) and is the foundational pillar that sets a TPM apart from a generalist PM.

We’ll continue by discussing the various tools in the technical toolset and how they help you not only excel at your job but also work across job families as the need arises.

We’ll explore the technical toolset through the following topics:

Examining the need for a technical background
Defining the technical toolset

Let’s get started!
