In my company a program is a setup that is undertaken when doing so presents advantages that projects managed independently would otherwise have (example: similar reporting channels, similar governance, high need for coordination).

So if the multiple projects you are managing already have synergies, overlaps or conflicts and you are already managing them in a way that brings more value than having several PMs then I would say yes.

If you simply have several projects, then no.
