03 / OPERATING MODEL

My TPM operating system.

🧩 My preferred architecture: fewer surprises, clearer owners, and absolutely no dependency hiding under the carpet.

The job is rarely about having all the answers. It's about making sure the right people, decisions and dependencies converge at the right time.

A SMALL WINDOW INTO THE TPM BRAIN

“Everyone says we're on track.”

→ Cool. Show me the data.
04 / CAREER

The evolution.

🧭 Career progression, TPM edition: from writing code → managing projects → managing the people managing the projects → asking “who owns this dependency?”

A few known behaviours.

🐛 Not a bug, a feature: I occasionally turn a perfectly calm status meeting into a dependency workshop.
ISSUE

Program has 17 dependencies.

→ “Let's put them on the board.”
ISSUE

Everyone says they're on track.

→ “Cool. Show me the data.”
ISSUE

Release is tomorrow.

→ “What's the rollback plan?”
ISSUE

Nobody owns the dependency.

→ “Now we have a program.”
06 / NEXT STEP

Got a complicated program?

🤝 Fair warning: I may ask about the roadmap, dependencies, risks, owners and rollback plan before we finish our coffee.

Good. Those are usually the interesting ones.
