Hi All - I have an interview for a GTM Program Manager role. Would anyone be willing to discuss how Google S&O stands up and manages projects from end to end? Thanks in advance for your help!

Okay. It was made to seem like there was something specific I should be looking for. So would you say the normal PM process? Meet stakeholders, define opportunity/problem, project charter, blah blah blah…?

Yep. Every PgM does their own thing re: what’s worked for them so just describe your own process :)

Whatever works well for you I'd say.

Best approach according to me is to meet with other program managers (over meet) as a lot of them are welcoming and then you can try to understand how they do the things or the challenges they faced.
