Technical Program Management is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation, shaped by AI adoption, cross‑functional complexity, and shifting expectations of technical leadership. Over the past months, I’ve interviewed dozens of TPMs/PMs and delivery specialists to understand how the role is changing in practice, not just in theory.
In this talk, I’ll share the patterns emerging from these conversations. We’ll explore what “good” looks like in 2026, how AI is reshaping delivery roles, and what this means for anyone building a career in program management today.
