Describe your experience partnering with internal teams involved in the enterprise delivery process such as security, DevOps, cloud, database, operations, and support.
Technical program managers are expected to understand the end-to-end processes involved in technology implementation. This often requires coordinating efforts between several IT groups within a company or external vendors. Interviewers ask this question to determine if a candidate has the facilitation experience necessary to drive a successful enterprise-level implementation.
Remember to describe how similar tasks were addressed in your previous roles even if they were not within an enterprise setting. Interviewers prefer experience that matches the scale the candidate will be working with, but they may accept the conceptual application of the same duties at a smaller company.
"I worked on a custom solution development team within a large enterprise for 11 years. I served as an engineer and then as a project manager. In my time there, I coordinated discovery, design, testing, and delivery efforts with several groups. This included working with architecture, database administration, release management, quality assurance, network administration, and support groups."
