Design program management is a specialized area of program management that focuses on managing the design and development of products or services.

Design program managers, or DPMs, are responsible for coordinating and overseeing the work of designers and other team members to bring a product or service to market.

DPMs work closely with product managers, UX designers, researchers, and other team members to ensure the design meets the needs and goals of the target market and the business. DPMs also manage budgets, timelines, and resources, and communicate regularly with stakeholders to keep them informed of the design team’s progress.

Key skills for a DPM include project management, communication, leadership, technical knowledge, problem solving, adaptability, budgeting, and financial management and strong interpersonal skills.

There are various pathways to enter into the field of design program management, such as formal education, experience, certifications, and networking.
