Some other criteria when TPMs can effectively support company and engineering initiatives are:
โข ๐๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด-๐ณ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ: TPMs have the technical background and expertise to manage projects that require technical work or outcomes. They can effectively communicate and manage technical deliverables to meet program requirements and quality standards. If the program does not include a technical/engineering component, it can be handled by other PM roles.
โข ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐: Large-scale programs that do not have clear goals or objectives can benefit from a TPM's expertise. A TPM can clarify the program's goals and objectives, develop a plan to achieve them, and effectively manage its execution.
โข ๐จ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐: Programs that have aggressive timelines for significant, high-impact deliverables. Programs with tight deadlines and high-impact outcomes require efficient and effective program management. A TPM can help ensure that the program stays on schedule and meets its objectives while minimizing risks and maximizing benefits.
โข ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป-๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ: TPMs with specialized industry knowledge can help ensure that the program meets the industry standards and requirements. They can also provide technical guidance and direction to the program team and stakeholders. ๐ฆ.๐จ., ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ข, ๐ด๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐บ, ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ช๐ท๐ข๐ค๐บ, ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ฆ๐ต๐ค.
โข ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐-๐ณ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น: Programs that span multiple departments and require coordination between diverse stakeholders can be challenging to manage. A TPM can facilitate communication and coordination between stakeholders to ensure that the program stays on track and achieves its goals.
