Course overview
🚀 Lets become GREAT together in hours not years
😧 Are you new to the TPM role and not sure how to succeed?
😟 Have your leaders ever told you that you are a "Good" TPM but not "Great"?
😔 Has someone ever told you to "Be More Strategic"?
😣 Have you been passed over for big programs because you are not ready yet?
😯 Are you a Product Manager or Engineering Leader struggling with program management responsibilities?
Believe it or not, I have sat in that very seat thinking "what am I missing".
It took me years and many difficult projects at places like Apple, Google, Nike to understand what it means to be "Great".
😁 Good news for you, you won't have to spend years. Become a standout TPM in a few hours. Learn the skills and knowledge needed to gain senior leadership's trust to lead large cross-functional programs and take your career to the next level.
Level-up your TPM skills with lessons based on real-world experiences, tried-and-tested frameworks, and successful strategies I picked up from working on complex 0 to 1 programs at Apple, Google, Nike, Blackberry.

01
Foundations
What exactly is a Technical Program Manager and what do they do? TPMs are synonymous with BigTech yet the precise definition of a TPM varies company to company. We will start by establishing a baseline of a TPM based on my experiences working at Apple, Google, Nike and now Humane.
02
Leading Complex Programs
Before you can lead complex programs, you must understand the shape and nature of complexity. Then, you need the right toolkit to dive into any complex programs and lead it like a Great TPM.
Here we dive into both - the shape of complexity and toolkit to overcome it.
03
Leading Without Authority
TPM and PMs are leader that have no formal authority. We can't make people do anything. What we can do is influence outcomes and trajectories.
How? Lets dive into where power comes from and its not just your job title.
04
TPM Superpowers
Years of observing how the great TPMs at places like Apple, Google, Nike, and Humane make great programs successful, I will share what the secret sauce or tools they use to be GREAT.
Big component - systems thinking and mindset.
05
Case Study
You have learned the theory, now let's apply it. Together, we will work through case studies based on real world examples on how I tackled these programs and real world insights for how programs actually go down.
