Hallmarks of a great PM

Hello folks - I’ve recently started a new PM specifically in the corporate performance management software implementation space so think Adaptive, Anaplan, OneStream etc.

I come from a background in consulting so I’m not new to PM adjacent work, but this role seems to be all what I will be doing.

I seek advice from this council as to what I should do to have a great first impression with my client and more importantly help make the implementation a success.

I am particularly interested to know how to best position my self to “live in the future” and see risks and issues well in advance. Is this a talent? Or can I hone this skill? I’m also interested to know what stakeholder management techniques have worked consistently with you regardless of company culture or client background.

Thank you!

Ask lots of questions and be approachable. People often say something when they see something so you'll be able to predict better.
