Why TPM Collective exists

A professional destination for Technical Program Managers — sharpening practice through thoughtful writing, curated resources, and real gatherings.

Technical Program Managers sit at a demanding intersection: technology depth, organizational navigation, and delivery leadership. The work is high-leverage and often under-documented. Too much of the craft lives in private Slack threads, inherited templates, and hard-won intuition.

TPM Collective exists to make that craft more visible — through writing that respects practitioners, resources worth returning to, and gatherings where people can think together without the theater of generic networking.

We are building a destination, not a feed. Quality over volume. Practice over performance. Community that grows from substance.

Founder

Kriti Thakur

Kriti is a Technical Program Manager and the founder of TPM Collective. She writes about the practice of leading complex technical programs — alignment across orgs, risk that changes the plan, honest roadmaps, and the judgment calls that never make it into the job description.

The essays here come from that work: field notes for people who sit between teams and are accountable for making hard things move.
