Summary
Plans, coordinates, and delivers projects across the full lifecycle (discovery, initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, closing). Owns schedule, budget, scope, risk, and cross-team coordination to ensure projects finish on time and on budget. Distinct from product management or line engineering: this focus does not own the design of the product itself — it owns the disciplined delivery of the work. At senior levels, scope extends from single projects to managing multiple projects, programs, and ultimately the project portfolio and PMO operating model.
