Pre-boarding (offer signed → day one)

  • Welcome pack sent by day 2 after signing
  • Tools + email provisioned by day -3
  • Buddy notified and briefed
  • Day-one agenda in their calendar

Week 1

Meet everyone they will work with directly. Deliver one small thing by Friday.

Week 2–4

Take over a small workstream. First public presentation by day 30 - even a five-minute stand-up.

Days 30–90

Own something end-to-end. First formal review at 90.
