Start using your product. Become a beta tester!
Understand the internal dependencies from an implementation perspective. Reach out to critical stakeholders and meet them.
Understand the licensing model and competitors and their models as you will have to answer queries on that
Go through important telemetry info, adoption rates and so on
Lastly, if you are from the same industry, unlearn whatever you have learnt and stop comparing everything with your previous company!
