How do you become a Technical Project Manager?

Trilogy Education helps companies meet the rising demand for tech talent by partnering with the world’s leading universities to prepare students for careers in Technical Project Management (TPM).

TPMs are in high demand. A hybrid role encompassing both technical and leadership skills, TPMs are critical to the conception, development and execution of software development projects.

In Trilogy’s TPM boot camp, students learn the most commonly used Software Development Life Cycle methodologies. They are responsible for coordinating the scope, budget, schedule, resources, documentation and other items required to achieve technology project objectives. They also learn how to balance their technical capabilities with soft skills such as leadership, time management, and big-picture thinking.

My role:

As a member of the learning design team, I synthesized and translated complex content and data into visualizations and stories that help students learn as they acquire the most in-demand, industry-relevant skills.

My responsibilities included:

  • creating instructional content supports for the learning design platform
  • interpreting complex technical concepts and systems
  • establishing pacing and flow of instruction
  • employing basic design principles (hierarchy, emphasis, balance and alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement, variety, and white space) to create visually appealing and functional designs that aid comprehension
