Overview
What Program Manager refers to
Program Manager is a term used in technology roles for a job role rather than a software product or technical standard. In the ResumeITKeys dictionary it is associated with Job Titles. Its practical meaning depends on the system, team, and responsibilities described in a role.
A job description may mention Program Manager in connection with responsibilities, seniority, ownership, and the technology context expected for that role. Read the surrounding responsibilities to understand the expected depth of knowledge; its presence does not mean every employer requires the same experience.
