Understanding Program Managers

Typically, program managers create and manage programs, create program budgets, and assign project managers. You define program managers on the Project General - Manager page for programs. You can have more than one program manager for a program, but the effective dates for the program managers cannot overlap. If you change a project into a program, the system retains the project manager as the program manager. If you change a program into a project, the system automatically adds the program manager to the resource list as a project manager. If the program has multiple program managers, the system will add each program manager to the resource list as project managers based on their effective dates.
