Introduction. In this article, I’m referring to IT projects with the ‘shape’ of them being their visible form. Projects, IT projects in particular, come in many different shapes (i.e., plans). The PMBOK ( A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) states that a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.

But before we compare the roles of a program manager and a project manager in-depth, we must first understand the difference between a project and a program.

While it is important for a team to understand the external constraints they have and to define realistic plans based on those, it is also advisable that they have an idea of the relative priority of these constraints before making delivery commitments.

In the same way, a project that isn’t part of a larger organization design may struggle to succeed.
