We're thrilled to have you join us on this journey! 🎆🎉🙌
Our vision is to build and maintain a best-in-class Content Management System that meets the needs of editors, application development teams, and consuming applications in order to empower our users to help Veterans.
The onboarding materials below are organized by 1) chronological time to complete (day one, week one, week two, month one); and main category (why, how, who, what). There's a lot to digest but don't worry, your delivery manager will guide you, you'll have an onboarding buddy to provide support, and we'll also introduce you to your workstream's lead to help with specific things related to your discipline (UX, DevOps, Drupal Engineering, etc). In addition, you'll have the support of the entire team, who have all gone through this process before and are eager to answer any questions that arise. Come back to this ticket any time to refresh your knowledge on a specific topic covered below.
Have fun and we look forward to getting to know you! 😊
Projected start date: 2021-09-13
Onboarding buddy (short check-in meetings the first week): Rachel Kauff
[x] Let's start introducing you to the team and key stakeholders. If you're on a meeting where you don't know someone, feel free to kickstart an introduction. Everyone in the ecosystem is friendly and interested in connecting.
Week two
The goal for this week is to get you set up with the tools you need to be successful. We will pair you up with a buddy on the project that is in your same discipline to help inform which ones are relevant and which aren't. The most important thing is to get set up is SOCKS as it will give you access to our systems so try to prioritize that.
When?
[x] Check your calendar for invitations to team ceremonies.
@timcosgrove it looks like this is pretty much done. we may want to meet one more time to go through a few more contextual things like who's who, but feel free to close this out if you're in agreement.
