"RIGID PERC: A Program Manager’s role"
summary
Program management treats projects like tests: it asks hard questions, confirms rumors, schedules deep dives, builds dashboards and mediates across silos to avoid reinventing work. A nine‑point checklist called RIGID PERC lists Requests, Information, Guidance, Investigations, Dependencies, Patterns, Escalations, Reminders and Clarity as daily actions. The format is a mock Slack day that shows role‑specific moves (confirming patterns, owning milestones, surfacing cross‑project risks) and uses a 50‑mile view screenshot from Microsoft Flight Simulator to illustrate perspective.
