The 60-Minute Onboarding Optimization Workshop

Improve your user's first 5 minutes. Streamline onboarding for maximum conversion.

About this session

Users often drop off within seconds if the initial value proposition is unclear or if the barrier to entry feels too high. This workshop identifies exactly where friction occurs in the first five minutes of your product experience and produces a prioritized list of changes to improve sign-up completion.

Why it works

The time-boxed structure prevents the team from debating long-term roadmap items and forces a narrow focus on immediate user friction. By moving from individual observation to collective decision-making, the session builds consensus on which specific elements to remove or simplify to reach the first 'aha' moment faster.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

Product Designers, UX Researchers
