You have assumed a position of managerial responsibility and an opportunity to accelerate your career faster than you can ever think. At this point, you may need to pause on applying your technical skills and rather think like a manager. It may be a strange environment, but to excel as a manager, you may have to prioritize more which is one of the most difficult things to do in IT management where there are rapid changes in the industry. One thing to prioritize for me would be setting the cultural tone straight for others dealing with you. How do requests come to you on the product? Let there be SLA agreement on these requests and make sure you are on the same path. That's your first step for your company to trust you enough to manage the activities around that product and give you more people as it would help with the focus you desire.
I see, first I should make them understand how they should behave with me.
If I can make them understand how things are done with me on the wheel, them it could go smoother.
That's a good point, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me (or with anyone who's in the same situation)!
I happe I can get things on the right track, after all, I love to work with this company, people here are great and we have many chances to grow in our career! :)
