Is the project manager role really a combination or project,program and product management? How does that work?

Project and at times program. Not Product.

@ Cisco, what's the difference between project and program in tech world?

Sometimes depending on company it’s is very fine line. But overall project manager is responsible for the day to deliverables, teams etc of the project. Where a program manager will oversee multiple related projects. At times the program manager will oversee the projects that are being ran by the project manager. In several companies I have seen people with a program manager title perform project manager activities. Depends on how many projects are available, and people available.

The role would be what you make out of it. Of you focus on product so be it, if you choose to do more so be it.

This - speaking from the dev side, unlike at some past companies I have no idea for the PMs I work with which of product, program or project any of them are.
