However, the support provided by the host organization can vary significantly.<\/p>\n<p>After observing the concrete results of structured and intentional onboarding processes in numerous software developers, the question arises: does underestimating this process mean missing a valuable opportunity for both the business and its people? This opportunity lies somewhere between &#8220;if a good onboarding process is not provided, the developer may leave the company&#8221; and &#8220;one way or another, people eventually figure out what they need to do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about onboarding, we refer to the process that facilitates the integration of a software developer into a technical team and the organization as a whole. This process can range from a single day to a period of three to six months\u2014the average time considered for a developer to become fully productive in their role[^1]. It is important to emphasize that the start of work activities does not mark the end of the onboarding process.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about intention and structure, we refer to providing a framework and designing specific content for software developers while maintaining a degree of flexibility that considers both individual needs and business requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We will focus our attention on software development teams, as they are the core of our business operations and the area in which we have the most expertise. Rather than listing the problems associated with the lack of a serious onboarding process, we prefer to highlight the opportunities this process can offer for both our business and our developers when implemented effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Onboarding Impacts the Business<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>The sooner our developer becomes fully productive, the sooner they will start contributing to the business. Additionally, if they understand both the technical and business context, their impact on the organization&#8217;s growth will be more effective. A study by the SHRM Foundation indicates that organizations with strong onboarding programs experience a 69% increase in employee retention and a 50% improvement in productivity[^2].<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Create a Developer-Specific Checklist<\/span><br \/>\nCreating a role-specific checklist helps ensure that new developers have everything they need to succeed in their position and within the company. This includes setting up the development environment, gaining access to code repositories, and understanding the agile methodologies in use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Provide Business Context and Technical Architecture<\/span><br \/>\nDevelopers perform better when they understand not just the code but also how their work impacts business goals. For example, implementing a feature in an application is not the same as doing so with a clear understanding of how that feature enhances user experience and adds value to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Facilitate Access to Technical Documentation<\/span><br \/>\nHaving well-organized technical documentation is crucial.

It is recommended that the new developer start working on simple tasks from day one, such as fixing minor bugs or implementing small features. This helps them become familiar with the codebase and the tools used.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Assign a Technical Mentor<\/span><br \/>\nAccording to research by Ragins and Kram (2007), mentorship programs are effective in accelerating integration and increasing job satisfaction[^3]. A mentor can guide the new team member in coding practices, code reviews, and resolving technical questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Set Clear Technical Goals<\/span><br \/>\nDefining specific objectives related to the technical skills a developer should master during onboarding is essential. This may include becoming familiar with certain programming languages, frameworks, or version control systems used by the team.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Measure Technical Progress<\/span><br \/>\nImplementing metrics to assess a developer&#8217;s technical progress benefits both the organization and the individual. For example, tracking the average time to close assigned tickets or the number of approved pull requests within a given period. These metrics help identify areas for improvement and recognize achievements.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:24px;width:100%;max-width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:var(--awb-color2);border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p><span style=\"color: #1d1b1b;\">Tip: Create a Technical Skills Inventory<\/span><br \/>\nDocumenting a developer\u2019s technical skills and competencies makes it easier to assign them to projects where they can provide the most value while continuing their professional growth. It also helps identify areas where additional training may be needed.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Onboarding Impacts Developer Engagement and Retention<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><p>Onboarding is an opportunity to demonstrate that we value the professional growth and well-being of our developers.
