What I do as Technical Program Manager at Microsoft

MIQL in 2 years:

How I became the manager of the MS Paint division

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?

Would u recommend learning how to code first before trying to become a project manager?

They made you program as a program manager. That's really not the role of a program manager.

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

So the scrum master leads all the scrum ceremonies. I didn't know PM at Microsoft do that??

If TPM is managing the roadmap, user stories etc, what does the product manager do?

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 ?

Thank you for sharing your experience!! it's very helpful

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

What resources would you recommend to follow the program manager path?

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 ?

Your channel is really helpful! I wish all the fellow cs students at my school knew it. Thank you for the quality videos 👍

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 🙂👍

More planning and roadmap and less coding. Sounds like a TPM ;)
Thank you for helping the machine learning stuff

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!

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

Again, such a great video! I dont know how u havent gotten at least 100k subscribers yet

How do the PM and TPM roles vary at Microsoft? Great video as always. Cheers!

Nice shirt 😂 also I liked your video
