R&D Program & Project Management

R&D Management — the people-and-portfolio leadership track that plans, resources, and governs research and development programs from idea generation through pre-clinical/prototype stage-gates to launch. Distinct from individual-contributor R&D engineering/science (which executes experiments and design) and from pure PMO scheduling roles: this focus owns the delivery system, the budget/P&L, the stage-gate go/no-go decisions, and the line management of R&D personnel.

Program & Portfolio Management (PPM) — leading cross-functional R&D program execution and managing the multi-asset portfolio through stage-gate governance, resource/capacity planning, portfolio analytics, and Go/No-Go capital-allocation decisions. Distinct from single-project Project Management (focuses on one project's timeline/risk/budget) and from Alliance Management (focuses on partner/contractual relationships): this focus owns the integrated view across many research programs and the methods that prioritize them.

R&D Project Management — leading the people and processes that plan, schedule, resource, and deliver individual research and development projects (defining scope/goals/deliverables, managing timelines, dependencies, budgets, and risks, and coordinating cross-functional scientist/engineer teams). Distinct from R&D Program Management (multi-project chartering, benefits realization, portfolio alignment) and from R&D Portfolio Management (cross-program prioritization and capacity/risk trade-offs); this focus owns delivery at the project and multi-project team level, not enterprise portfolio strategy.
