Evangelizing the TPM Craft: Principles and Practices of Technical Program Management in Silicon Valley - 1025

"This is a book every TPM should have. Right off the bat, you should know that this book is very comprehensive." – James Dayhuff, Staff TPM @ HashiCorp, author of the "the TPM Craft" Newsletter. https://the-tpm-craft.beehiiv.com/p/book-review-evangelizing-the-tpm-craft Over the past decade, the role of the Technical Program Manager (TPM) has seen a meteoric rise. Once exclusive to tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, it has now become ubiquitous, stretching its influence from Silicon Valley pioneers such as Uber, Airbnb, and Robinhood to burgeoning startups with fewer than 100 employees. This role's versatility doesn't stop at software companies—it has made its way to various sectors, from the gig economy, represented by Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart, to cutting-edge ventures in hardware with brands like NVIDIA and MagicLeap, self-driving technology such as Cruise and Waymo, and electric vehicles like Rivian and Tesla. As companies strived to understand and mold the TPM role to fit their unique landscapes, certain characteristics of the TPM craft remained consistent across the board. Drawing from over a decade of firsthand experience at Amazon, Uber, and Robinhood and insights gained from hosting numerous TPM Meetups and organizing the inaugural TPM Summit, I go into these core traits, offering a comprehensive understanding of the role. "Evangelizing the TPM Craft" distills the foundational knowledge I've depended on throughout my journey, covering both the technical and program management domains. More than skills, this book emphasizes the leadership qualities vital to thrive in this dynamic and evolving role.
