Program Manager

Description Position Summary Program Manager is responsible for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing projects through the project life cycle while remaining aligned with the strategy, commitments and goals of the organization. The project life cycle is comprised of five phases.

1. Project Initiation – Initiation is the first phase of the project lifecycle, typically developed during the proposal phase where the project’s requirements, initial budget and preliminary schedule are created.
2. Project Planning – The Program Manager develops a solid plan to guide the team, keep them on time and on budget, and create detailed budgets and schedules. This helps the team understand cost, scope, timeframe, risk, and stakeholder benefits.
3. Project Execution – Execution is all about building deliverables that satisfy the customer. The Program Manager allocates resources, keeps team members focused, communicates status to the customer, establishes design reviews, and manages scope changes.
4. Project Monitoring and Control – Monitoring and control often happen concurrently with execution. The Program Manager monitors tasks to prevent scope creep, calculates key performance indicators, and tracks variations from allotted cost and time.
5. Project Closure – The team closes a project by delivering the finished project to the customer, communicating completion to stakeholders, releasing resources, and documenting lessons learned for future projects.
