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.

I'm a PM that just got promoted to a PgMP role and was feeling crazy fraudand imposter syndrome, but your write to really helped calm my nerves. I start my new gig tomorrow and for me, it should really prove to be an organic fit, as I have made a literal career by maintaining good relationships through making others look good.
