Unless they have started teaching design, hci, interaction design,
information architecture and/or usability analysis in Project/Program
management undergrad and grad schools these days, I am completely
dumbfounded.
Oh - wait
There are no schools in Program Management, just certificate programs
and industry continuing education.
Oh - and wait - there are no classes in any of the above mentioned
disciplines in the curricula of those continuing ed/certificate
programs.
Seems like a great idea - let's take a role that necessarily has had
no need for or training in the most applicable disciplines necessary
for the successful experience design or interaction design and empower
them to make all those design decisions. Sounds fantastic to me!

And how is a Program Manager not going to screw up the UI? Unless
they have some design training or skills, they're no less likely to
screw it up than a programmer, who at least understands the
technology.

My interpretation is this - in the absence of a program manager, the
UI will be left to the coder, who may screw it up. And I agree with
this. Anyone not with me so far?

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
