Program

Definition

Program in plain English

Busy isn't valuable. Shipping a polished feature nobody uses is a fancy way to waste calendar time. Program pushes you to rank work by the outcome it unlocks, not by who yelled loudest in standup. Hold onto this precise job description: Related projects, subsidiary programs, and program activities managed in a coordinated manner to obtain benefits not available from managing them individually. On a stem, name whether Program is about timing, ownership, measurement, or delivery style — then eliminate the answer that borrows a cousin concept from the wrong phase.
