They ensure that projects within a program align with business objectives, manage resources, mitigate risks, and communicate with stakeholders. Program Managers differ from Project Managers in that they focus on the bigger picture, managing interdependencies between projects and optimizing performance across the program. Their role is crucial for organizations aiming to deliver complex initiatives efficiently and effectively.
