From the Publisher
Explore new content on harnessing AI and fostering Emotional Intelligence to become a better TPM
Along with updates and modernizations throughout, this second edition includes two brand-new chapters covering increasingly important considerations for TPMs. The first covers Emotional Intelligence – what it is, why you need it to succeed as a TPM, and how to improve it. The second new chapter explores how AI, and especially Generative AI, is changing the game for TPMs and teaches you how to not get left behind in the quickly changing AI landscape.
Learn from the professionals with real-world examples and case studies

His personal experience is unpacked throughout this book to give you insights you wouldn’t otherwise be able to gain without years of experience. On top of Joshua’s own expertise in the field, the book is peppered with insights from other experienced TPMs and technical leaders, examples from in the field showing you what works (and what doesn’t), and a book-wide case study that will help you see how everything you’ve learnt comes together to run a successful program.
Get to grips with project, program, and portfolio management
Learn both the differences and the transferable skills you need to know to succeed, whether you’re leading small projects, large programs, or even whole portfolios. With chapters covering project planning, risk management, and how to keep your stakeholders on-side, you’ll develop the knowledge that will help you spot and solve problems so that you can lead smooth projects to completion. You’ll explore how program management builds on the fundamentals of project management and even see how to utilize your technical acumen to gain an edge.
See what the big five tech companies look for in a TPM to boost your career opportunities
Beyond the real-world advice and insights, an entire chapter is dedicated to your career path and how to make the most of your skills in the workplace. You’ll see how to get started, moving from wherever you are now into an entry-level TPM role, see what paths are open to you to grow once you’re on the TPM track, explore what adjacent roles open up to you with the skills you gain in your day-to-day work, and see how to climb the career ladder all the way to the principal or director level.
