This is a good basic intro to being a TPM, unfortunately the more useful deep dive at the end is more geared towards software companies not hardware focused companies.

This book masterfully introduces the role of TPM to those looking to break into the field or who are entirely new to it, emphasizing the essential skills necessary for success in most companies. What's more, the author astutely acknowledges the discrepancies in how the role is perceived across various organizations, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, etc.As a seasoned TPM myself, I can confirm that the skills emphasized in the book, such as promoting clarity, managing programs, and handling stakeholders, are skills that I, and all TPMs, utilize daily in our work.I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is considering entering the realm of TPM or for those who are just embarking on their journey in this role.

I recently read the Technical Program Manager's Handbook and found it to be an insightful and well-written guide for anyone looking to efficiently manage technical projects and build a successful career path. As someone new to the role, I found the book to be particularly useful in establishing clear expectations for the responsibilities and requirements of a Technical Program Manager.However, at times, the book was unclear in its audience targeting. While it was helpful for those new to the tech industry, there were moments when it felt like it was targeted more toward seasoned individual contributors. Despite this minor criticism, I found the book to be a valuable resource and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skills as a Technical Program Manager. Overall, a great read that provides a solid foundation for anyone looking to excel in this role.
