Using a Program Manager An increasingly popular approach, program management places state-of-the-art acumen at the disposal of executives focused on managing in rapidly changing times. Who does what? A program manager takes responsibility for all aspects of the development of the program, including building use strategy, architecture & design, and construction The money is handled as cost for services plus a percentage.
