Love the content you are really giving out gems. I've got a interview as a EPM at Apple so glad to get a inside look at the day to day role of a PM even though it varies widely . Keep up the great content!
Thanks man and that's awesome! I don't want this to sound like a plug, but I uploaded an interview with a current EPM at Apple a couple months ago if you are interested. Good luck with the interview!
@@ByteOfMichael Lol no plug that’s how I found your channel first video I watched lol the content was good started watching all the rest of your content its all really good.
Would love to hear more stories about projects that went off track / didn’t go to plan and how you fixed it? Would also be interested in how you plan or… really any other TPM content 🙂👍
Awesome video ! Since you mentioned about you did Machine Learning as TPM, so i have 2 questions a) How strong are you in math and stats and other skills that are needed for ML? b) What was your contribution within ML space being TPM ?
My undergrad degree was in Mathematics-Computer Science so I took about half math and half computer science classes. So I'm pretty comfortable with mathematics but I'm not doing any machine learning academic research, so I don't really use any super complex math. In terms of contribution, for my team I've planned, architected and engineered our entire machine learning pipeline/suite. So I've basically been responsible for the entire process!
TPMs generally have deeper technical knowledge are able to work with both technical and non-technical people. PMs usually handle planning broader customer needs and don't get too deep into technical specifics.
I'm looking at making a career move into Tech as a PM/TPM. I have a masters degree in engineering but not related to coding. I currently do the roles of a TPM of buildings and leading a team of engineers to meet program deliverables etc. Any suggestions to get into the tech TPM field? Is this reasonable with my experience without coding etc?
Hi , i have over 8 years of experience as a mobile application developer and looking to foray into technical program manager ... I am told that cam certification would help with that ...or will the knowledge of agile scrum be enough ...do create a roadmap on how to switch to this position
It really depends on the team, some teams might only have TPMs and no product managers. On my team the TPMs handle a lot of the developer workflow and integration. Where as the regular PMs handle more customer oriented requirements and communications!
Hi Mik, what sort of tools that you using during while developing your roadmap and user story. More than that, what are the tools that you mostly use as a TPM? Regards
So its important to note that PM/TPM roles aren't people managers, so you won't have any direct reports (until you get to about the Senior PM or Principal PM position). But I know a bunch of new grads who became PMs directly out of college. For TPMs, the usual route is to major in a technical field like computer science. For general PMs, you can almost major in anything. Similar to software engineering, there are program manager internships that can give a PM resume a solid booster. Then you just a apply for entry PM positions!
I didn't look into any specific resources, but potentially look into books/courses about effective program/product/project management. As well as become familiar with different styles of software development (agile scrum, waterfall etc.).
I'm currently a software engineer planning to transition Into a role of TPM. Do you recommend getting certifications like CSPO? Should I also have a good git hub profile to land the role ?
I think it really depends on the company! I’d look at the job qualifications/responsibilities sections on the job posting, then tailor your resume to those. And if you see that a certain certification is mentioned a lot, then it might be worth it!

Again, such a great video! I dont know how u havent gotten at least 100k subscribers yet
Aye really appreciate it dude!
Thank you for sharing your experience!! it's very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Your channel is really helpful! I wish all the fellow cs students at my school knew it. Thank you for the quality videos 👍
Aw thanks! Glad you found it useful!

More planning and roadmap and less coding. Sounds like a TPM ;)
Thank you for helping the machine learning stuff
Would u recommend learning how to code first before trying to become a project manager?
To work in tech, I think it helps but definitely not mandatory by any means!
How do the PM and TPM roles vary at Microsoft? Great video as always. Cheers!

If TPM is managing the roadmap, user stories etc, what does the product manager do?
It really depends on the team, some teams might only have TPMs and no product managers. On my team the TPMs handle a lot of the developer workflow and integration. Where as the regular PMs handle more customer oriented requirements and communications!
Hi Mik, what sort of tools that you using during while developing your roadmap and user story. More than that, what are the tools that you mostly use as a TPM? Regards
I mostly use Azure Dev Ops for sprint planning, Microsoft Project for broader goals, PowerPoint/Word for presentations and then Visio for diagrams!
How could you become a PM/TPM once you graduate from university? What route would you take, cause i’m pretty sure it’s not an entry level role

What resources would you recommend to follow the program manager path?
I didn't look into any specific resources, but potentially look into books/courses about effective program/product/project management. As well as become familiar with different styles of software development (agile scrum, waterfall etc.).
So the scrum master leads all the scrum ceremonies. I didn't know PM at Microsoft do that??
Ya PMs are usually responsible for Scrum at Microsoft. There are no set "Scrum Master" positions
Nice shirt 😂 also I liked your video
Man of good taste
Wooow❤🎉

They made you program as a program manager. That's really not the role of a program manager.
It can usually depend on the team and their needs!
