I am curious to know what the program manager role at Microsoft really entails? I am looking for the next move in my career, currently a product owner with 2 years of experience. Is coding part of the expected job responsibilities?l

I never said anything about Microsoft TPMs. Sounds like you can't even read. Thanks for your worthless ignorant opinions and backpedaling 5% BS. You're right, no point arguing with a bonehead.
IRL, you don't need to know shit.
I've met great Product Managers, Project Managers, and Scrum Masters. I've also met people that were absolute shit, and intentionally so. (They used "playing politics" to throw others under the bus and screw the team over.)
Two of the bad ones both came from Microsoft. Not say there isn't anyone with skills there, but one of the few I knew was good left.
The flipside is, most executives likely started off in a role like this. So if you persist long enough, then you too can order around SDEs one day.
I am not a PM, but, I have seen so many Devs..who are basically unemployable even at McDonald's...just because they don't understand business...
It appears a few code jockeys believe any business function is ancillary
And I guess the janitors also do a lot more work as PMs than the rest of the IT crowd combined
