What's in the download

First 90 Days Kit ($49 standalone)

8-sheet workbook: stakeholder map, listening tour log, quick-wins backlog, 30/60/90 plan, decisions to make and decisions to defer, week-1 cadence. Plus the listening tour facilitation guide.

RACI Matrix ($19 standalone)

Map accountability across the program in week two, while asking is still free. Built to drive the ownership conversation in the room, not in your office.

PM Status Report Generator ($29 standalone)

Four report formats with RAG-and-trend tracking. Your first status report sets the bar for every one after it; this one briefs leadership in under five minutes.

Why the first 90 days deserve their own toolkit

Most new PMs spend their first month producing an org chart, a meeting list, and a vague sense of dread. The questions that actually matter (who decides, who thinks they decide, what the last PM promised and to whom) go unasked, because asking feels political and nobody handed over a structure for it.

The first 90 days are the one window where every question is free. This pack is the structure: the 30/60/90 plan that makes the listening tour deliberate, the RACI that surfaces the ownership gaps while they are still cheap to fix, and the status format that shows leadership what working with you is going to feel like.

"You get one window where every question is free. It closes around day 90."

All three tools ship with PDF cheat sheets and work in Excel and Google Sheets. The kit's facilitation guide walks the listening tour step by step.

Questions PMs ask

Is this for first-time PMs or experienced ones changing roles?

Both, but it is built for the experienced PM walking into a new program. The listening tour, the RACI pass, and the first status report are the same three moves whether it is your first role or your fifth. Experience changes how fast you run them, not whether you need them.

How is this different from the $99 full bundle?

The full bundle is all 17 tools. This pack is the three you need in the first month, for $49. If you expect to stand up full governance (charter, RAID, risks), the $99 bundle covers that too and costs less than two mini-bundles.

Can I buy the three tools separately?

Yes: the First 90 Days Kit is $49, the status report generator is $29, and the RACI matrix is $19. Separately they total $97; the pack is $49.
