Finally made the career shift into tech product management (originally in consulting). It’s been exactly a month of being in the role, but any advices on how to spend the next 60, 90 days+ ahead?

So far I’ve been focused on understanding product, getting to know the team, contributing to project management areas where I’m more used to. Thanks!
