The Everyday PM: Project Management Principles for Your Everyday Life

How to Thrive in Your First 90 Days as a PM


Listen Later

Your first 90 days in a new PM role? They're kind of a big deal. Whether this is your first project management gig or you're starting fresh at a new company, how you show up in those first three months basically sets the tone for everything that comes after.

So I sat down with Mukhtar Kadiri—ranked the #1 PM in Canada, PM career coach with over 67,000 people in his LinkedIn network, and someone who helps companies find PMs who actually get stuff done (not just talk about it).

Here's what we dig into:

  • The 2-3 things you absolutely need to nail in your first 30 days (and the biggest mistake new PMs make right out of the gate)
  • How to figure out who actually matters in the organization and build real trust without looking like you're playing politics
  • What "winning" looks like by day 90—and how to talk about it without sounding like you're bragging
  • How to pick your first battle when everything feels chaotic and there's no obvious quick win
  • Balancing "learning mode" with "proving you can deliver"

If you're about to start a new PM role, currently in your first 90 days, or you're hiring PMs and want them to hit the ground running—this one's for you.
