team-onboarding-playbook

What problem does it solve?

Design a structured onboarding experience that gets new team members productive in 30, 60, and 90 days. This playbook addresses onboarding chaos and tribal-knowledge loss during team growth, restructures, or large-scale new-hire ramps, enabling consistent, fast-team ramp across engineering, design, product, marketing, and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• A four-layer onboarding framework (Belonging, Context, Contribution, Mastery) to guide new hires from day 1 through the first 90 days.
• Defined artifacts and milestones: pre-day-1 checklist, day-1 schedule, 5–10 day reading list, 30/60/90 milestones, and retrospective templates.
• Cross-functional applicability: usable for contractors, agency partners, or team restructures to capture tribal knowledge and improve ramp speed.

Quick Start

Follow the four-layer onboarding framework to pre-stage accounts, assign a buddy, and execute a 90-day onboarding plan with defined milestones and a retrospective.
