Technical Program Management Assessment
Unlock Your Team’s True TPM Potential
Are Your Program Managers Ready for the Modern Technical Landscape?
In a world of fast-paced innovation, managing technology programs demands more than traditional project management. It requires technical fluency, strategic thinking, and the ability to lead without authority—skills that define the modern Technical Program Manager (TPM).
Our Technical Program Management (TPM) Assessment is designed to evaluate and uplift your team’s readiness to thrive in this complex environment. Built on the same core principles taught by TPM leaders at Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple, and Netflix, this assessment will help you uncover skill gaps, identify high-potential talent, and develop customized learning paths aligned to your organization’s goals.
