The 'Speed-to-Code' Onboarding Workshop
New hire taking weeks to commit? Optimize your onboarding process.
About this session
When a new developer spends their first two weeks waiting for environment access or deciphering undocumented setup steps, the team loses momentum and the hire loses confidence. This session identifies the specific friction points in your current setup process to ensure every new engineer can submit their first pull request within their first few days.
Why it works
By forcing the team to visualize the onboarding timeline from the perspective of a newcomer, it exposes hidden hurdles that long-tenured members have often forgotten. Shifting the objective from general training to a successful code commit turns vague frustrations into a concrete list of technical and administrative tasks that can be automated or removed.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
