Difference between program manager and project manager?

A program may be a part of a higher-level program; it certainly contains some interrelated projects, and it may contain some non-project work as well. Program management focuses on optimally managing the interdependencies among the various projects in the program. The person who manages a program is called the Program Manager. The program manager's responsibilities are: • Prioritize to resolve resource conflict and constraints that affect multiple projects within his program. • Keep your priorities aligned with the strategic goals and objectives of the organization. • Resolve issues and manage change within the governance structure of the organization. Just like a project is managed by a project manager, a program is managed by a program manager, who oversees the projects and provides high-level guidance to the project managers. In other words, a program manager oversees projects and coordinates efforts between projects but does not manage the projects.
