team-onboarding-playbook

A repeatable framework for building an onboarding playbook that ramps new team members predictably without burning out the people training them.

When to use

• A new hire is joining and you do not have a written onboarding plan.
• An existing onboarding process is informal and inconsistent.
• A team is growing fast and onboarding is the bottleneck.
• A contractor or agency partner needs to ramp up quickly.
• A team member is leaving and their knowledge needs capturing.
• Onboarding currently takes too long and you want to reduce it.

When NOT to use

• For ongoing performance management (different problem).
• For training on a specific technology (use targeted docs and tutorials).
• For documentation strategy in general (use documentation-strategy).
• For role definition or hiring (different upstream problem).
