About

TPM University was founded in early 2025 with a clear mission: to elevate the discipline of Technical Program Management by offering expert insights, actionable strategies, and a vibrant community for learning and growth.

While demand for TPMs continues to grow across companies of all sizes, there’s often a gap in understanding how to fully leverage the role. Even TPMs themselves can struggle to define their impact within engineering-driven environments. That’s where TPM University comes in—we’re here to help define the role, advocate for its value, and empower TPMs at every level to thrive.

At TPM University, we believe that TPMs are the connective tissue of any successful technical organization. They sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations—navigating complexity, driving alignment, and delivering measurable outcomes. Yet, unlike other technical roles, TPMs often lack formalized paths for development. Our goal is to change that.

We are building a comprehensive ecosystem of resources tailored specifically for TPMs. This includes on-demand training courses, real-world case studies, community mentorship programs, books authored by seasoned professionals, and industry-recognized certifications. Whether you’re an aspiring TPM looking to break into the field or a seasoned leader aiming to refine your craft, TPM University has something for you.

In addition, we’re launching an open-source GitHub repository to house frameworks, templates, and tools that TPMs can immediately put into practice. We’re also laying the groundwork for meetups, guest lectures, and a member directory to foster deeper community engagement.

We’re just getting started. The coming months will bring new learning tracks, partnership announcements, and beta access to our content. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of program management, we invite you to follow us on social media, subscribe to our newsletter, and get involved.

We believe that technical program managers are the connective tissue of modern engineering organizations. But TPMs are often misunderstood, under-leveraged, or left without a clear growth path. Our goal is to change that narrative—by providing rich, relevant, and real-world content tailored specifically for TPMs at all levels.
