What’s the difference between Program Manager and Business Operations Manager roles?

  1. Business Analyst 1

    PgM is multiple project management and that is the core focus of the role: to make sure things happen. While a BizOps manager would be in charge of seeing certain strategic initiatives through to execution, the focus is more on the strategic part rather than the project management part. PgM is glorified PMO whereas BizOps M is more like strategy/ops consulting

    Program Manager 1

    This is perfect. Still trying to figure out how to make the jump.

  2. Accenture 1

    Unfortunately, to complicate things a bit, a Program Manager may just be a title, similar to Manager in consulting. My BizOps team title progression is Business Analyst > Program Manager. I’d do a bit more digging on the role description and team itself before coming to any conclusions.

The key to being promoted (beyond capability) is to be likeable. To be likeable, you need to be relatable. To be relatable, you need to have a wide range of hobbies and interests and appeal to familiarity - eg have kids, watch sports, play golf, etc.

Do you find that your team members in India take more sick days than US? On my team in the US, we work from home if we get a cold but are generally still able to work. Being too sick to work happens to each of our US team maybe 1-3 times a year. My team in India takes 1-2 sick days per month. Are they actually too sick to work and that level of illness is more common? Or is there a cultural difference that you don't work if not feeling well?
