How TPMs Track a Project Without Micromanaging? #technicalProjectManager #tpm #projecttracking

How does a Technical Project Manager track project progress without micromanaging engineers? In this video, we discuss the difference between tracking *people* and tracking **project outcomes**. A good TPM focuses on milestones, risks, dependencies, blockers, scope changes, and delivery signals — instead of constantly asking engineers what they are doing. We’ll look at practical examples of how TPMs can maintain project visibility, identify problems early, work effectively with Engineering Managers and engineers, and still give the team enough space to work independently. The goal is simple: *Visibility without micromanagement.* If you're a TPM, Project Manager, Engineering Manager, Product Owner, or engineer working in a technical team, this discussion will help you think differently about project tracking. What is your approach to tracking a project without micromanaging the team? Share your thoughts in the comments.
