Are programme managers and project managers the same?

No, program managers and project managers are not the same. A project manager oversees individual projects, focusing on specific deliverables and timelines. A program manager, on the other hand, manages a group of related projects (a program) and coordinates their interdependencies to achieve broader strategic objectives. Their roles and responsibilities differ based on the scope of their oversight.
