At Microsoft, program managers don't program, or manage | |

Besides the 2,000 Microsoft developers apparently working on Windows 7, the operating system also has 500 program managers. A reader, Jordan Cohen, pointed out that PMs, contrary to what they sound like (and what I had written), "are on a level playing field right with the developers and testers." And he cites as proof the blog of someone who would irrefutably know: Windows development chief, Steven Sinofsky. In a blog from December 2005 when he was overseeing the development of Office 2007, Sinosky explains that he first learned about program managers when he was being recruited to Microsoft in the late 1980s. | ||
