Technical Program Manager at Coda
Every day, there are on average 2,700 flights coming in and out of Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest. While pilots are making sure individual planes make their way to their destinations safely, just as critical are the air traffic controllers who conduct all the aircraft so they don’t get off schedule, or worse, collide. I like to think of my role as Technical Program Manager (TPM) as the de facto air traffic controller of the development process. But instead of coordinating jumbo jets, I’m directing information, ideas, budgets, and plenty more. Working as a TPM across various companies, I’ve discovered that most teams encounter the same problems—but the solutions vary. After joining Coda, I feel like I’ve finally discovered a productive solution to handle the unique problem sets TPMs face: gathering data / information, making sure that data / information stays fresh and useful for teams, and removing roadblocks to ensure projects move forward. Here’s how I use Coda to help solve each of of them more efficiently.
