When stepping into a new role, having a structured 30-60-90 day plan sets a strong foundation for success. It provides clarity, builds momentum, and aligns personal goals with organizational priorities. Here’s how I approach the first 90 days in a role that blends technical, project management, and leadership responsibilities.
🔹 First 30 Days: Learning & Integration
The focus here is to absorb, observe, and adapt.
- Familiarize with company tools: Zendesk, Asana, Airtable, OneNote, Lattice.
- Shadow senior engineers and project managers to learn workflows.
- Review client environments (Windows 11, Azure AD, Intune, Defender, AVD).
- Build strong working relationships with colleagues and clients.
- Define initial OKRs in Lattice.
✅ Outcome: A solid understanding of processes, systems, and culture.
🔹 Next 30 Days (Day 31–60): Execution & Contribution
The focus here is to contribute meaningfully.
- Lead at least one client onboarding or migration project.
- Take ownership of project tracking in Asana/Airtable.
- Document 2–3 technical processes in the Tech Manual.
- Manage support tickets independently and ensure positive client feedback.
- Conduct and contribute to engineering meetings.
✅ Outcome: Visible contributions to client success and internal process improvements.
🔹 Final 30 Days (Day 61–90): Leadership & Optimization
The focus here is to lead and optimize for long-term success.
- Successfully managed & delivered one major client project.
- Build and present a project dashboard with KPIs (SLA adherence, task velocity).
- Mentor junior staff in project management tools and Microsoft technologies.
- Recommend process improvements (automation, playbooks, best practices).
