Yes, and it is a moderate move. A project manager already covers 69% of what a programme manager is expected to do: 23 skills carry over, 21 of which the programme manager role treats as required.

3 required skills are missing, plus 19 optional ones. They fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by information skills. The single most important is evaluate project plans.

Its learning distance is 36.6 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
