What is the difference between program manager and delivery manager?
As delivery manager, we ensure the projects are delivered on time and on budget. We are a slightly higher level work that project managers in the sense that we try not to escalate issues as much as resolving them and letting upper management know of relevant issues. We analyze and refine project management methodologies, team structures, personal capabilities to ensure each successful delivery is improved upon from the previous.
In short, program managers maximize customer value within boundaries of the company vision and strategy. Delivery managers maximize efficiency of the given tasks with the available resources, over time.
Which skills make the difference between a good delivery manager and an AWESOME delivery manager?
A good delivery manager delivers the correct scope, on time, on budget and with quality. An AWESOME delivery manager does all that and make sure that least damage in terms of motivation and morale is done to the key people - who more often than not are the ones that need to be “burnt” to deliver on time, budget, quality and cost.
