Any experienced Program Managers here who can guide me on basic skills needed for this role as I am moving into this role after having exp. Of a senior developer of around 10 years?
Being a developer I know python and aws cloud. But this role would surely need altogether a different skill set.
P. S. - I am too bad in excel. Will it be needed? Shall I start learning it?
Any insights on any management tools etc will be highly appreciated.

Excel will surely help refer some youtube video. Most important skill will be people management, mentoring, coaching, patience, handling complex situation, customer centric, lead from front etc. Program Manager will be more behavioural skill rather than technical or any tool oriented.
