Mahesh Deshpande

Abstract: This paper introduces an AI-Inclusive Competency Framework for Technical Program Managers (TPMs), addressing the evolving landscape of program management in the era of Artificial Intelligence. The framework comprises of seven core competencies: Strategic AI Integration, AI-Enhanced Technical Program Management, Ethical AI Governance, Data-Driven Decision Making, AI- Augmented Leadership and Team Management, Continuous AI Learning and Adaptation, and AI-Human Collaboration and Communication. These interconnected competencies equip TPMs with the necessary skills to navigate AI-driven environments effectively. The paper discusses key skills by competencies, and future research directions. By adopting this framework, organizations and TPMs can position themselves at the forefront of AI-driven program management, ensuring success and innovation in an increasingly AI-centric business world. This comprehensive approach aims to future-proof the program management profession in the face of rapid technological advancements.
