They enable the design and test teams to succeed and be efficient by resolving cross-team dependencies, raising the bar on cost, quality, and scalability, advocating for our customers, and&#160;identifying&#160;risks and holes. Program managers are explicitly outside the firmware/software, hardware engineering, and system test organizations. This enables them to&#160;be independent, cross-functioning, hold teams&#160;accountable&#160;and&#160;identify&#160;problems as they see them.&#160;&#160;</p><p>&#160;&#160;<br></p><p><br></p>
