What Does 10X Engineering Mean for Technical Program Managers?

AI is changing how software gets built, but does that mean technical program managers (TPMs) and engineering managers should become one role? Not so fast. As engineering teams move faster with AI, the need to manage dependencies, anticipate risks, and keep cross-functional teams aligned isn't disappearing. It's evolving. In this episode, host Galen Low sits down with Satish Menon, a technical program management and engineering operations leader with experience at Google, Dell, and other major software companies. Together, they explore what technical fluency really means for TPMs, how AI is shifting the value of program management, and why the future of the role depends less on tracking work and more on solving problems, earning trust, and orchestrating delivery at scale.
