Program managers are more strategic in their thinking and deliverables, while the project manager is often working on day-to-day task management on a more cellular level. 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.

Most people think integrity means being honest. While this is true, the word has another meaning that’s important to project management: the state of being whole and undivided. In a sense, you could call organization design the approach to creating integrity in your organization. For example, a building that has no integrity cannot stand. In the same way, a project that isn’t part of a larger organization design may struggle to succeed.
