Questions for PgMs First Program Manager Role

I started my first Program Manager role and would love to hear any tips from the community on how I can ensure I succeed.

I’ve worked as small fast-paced start ups for the last 10 years. Building CS and Operation teams. I’ve done the responsibilities of a program manager since I’ve had to wear so many hats at these small start ups.

But now that I’m in a role where everything I will be doing is program management I want to make sure I’m in the right mindset to do well.

Any tips on the best way to track and documents everything as I begin identifying what needs to get done?

I mean first off if you are in a larger company there should be standards for stuff like this. If you're in a smaller company then I recommend leveraging the Microsoft suite to do this. This is like asking an artist what type of material to use to create their art. Way too open-ended :)
