In order to deliver the project ahead of schedule, you have been granted permission to add more resources to your team. Your project sponsor has worked out a deal to add an outside firm (partner) to your project team. They have very little understanding of your project, and you don’t have a lot of time to educate them on the project’s specifics. Describe how you plan to incorporate them as members of your project, as well as how to get them up to speed on your project.

Introduction

In the world of collaboration, it’s important to keep an eye on how you’re handling onboarding. Collaborators can be frustratingly slow to join your project team, but once they are onboarded and understand what’s expected of them, they’ll help drive your business forward in ways that might not have been possible otherwise!

When onboarding collaborators, the key is to be thoughtful and intentional about how you will incorporate them as members of your team.

When onboarding collaborators, the key is to be thoughtful and intentional about how you will incorporate them as members of your team.

The onboarding process should be a collaborative effort between you and the new collaborator. You may choose to communicate with them via email or Slack chat—whatever works best for both parties involved. The goal here is not just getting everything out in one fell swoop; rather, it’s about helping each person feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves by creating an environment where they can learn from each other and trust that everyone else has their best interest at heart (even if it doesn’t always seem like it).

If this sounds a little vague right now, don’t worry! It’ll become clearer once we start implementing our own processes on our own team projects later this month—and then again next month when we talk about how we plan to use those same techniques during our next big collaboration project together!

To keep the onboarding process smooth, here are three things you can do.

If you want to keep the onboarding process smooth, here are three things you can do:

Plan to be responsible for their training and support until they are up to speed on your project.

Make sure that people who work together regularly understand what’s expected of them and what their roles are, in order for everyone to succeed and feel supported.

1. Plan to be responsible for their training and support until they are up to speed on your project. You wouldn’t throw a new employee into the thick of a fast-paced project right away – make sure that when you bring someone on as a new collaborator, you are prepared to answer any questions and provide any resources they need to get started.

You should be prepared to answer any questions they have, and help them navigate the process of getting up to speed on your project. This might include:

How long will it take me?

What do I need to know?

Who can help me get started?

2. Be sure you have the time (and patience) required to check in with them regularly and support their needs. If this isn’t feasible given your current time constraints, it’s often best to give the collaboration a pass until a place opens up in your schedule where you can devote more energy to helping them excel at the task at hand.

If this isn’t feasible given your current time constraints, it’s often best to give the collaboration a pass until a place opens up in your schedule where you can devote more energy to helping them excel at the task at hand.

You can do this by creating an ask box or other means of communicating with them, so that they know exactly what resources are available for them when they need help getting up to speed on your project.

3. Make sure that people who work together regularly understand what’s expected of them and what their roles are, in order for everyone to succeed and feel supported. Don’t assume that someone new knows the rules of how things are done on your team – make sure you articulate them clearly from the beginning of your working relationship together.

If there are any areas where there is confusion about expectations for different members, try to clarify as soon as possible so nobody gets hurt or confused.

Onboarding new collaborators requires planning and communication, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or stressful if done properly!

Planning for onboarding a new team member is essential to making sure that you’re prepared for their involvement in your project. Your plan should include:

How you will communicate with them about what they need to know about being on the team and when they should join in on conversations within the team (e.g., every Saturday at lunchtime).

What types of training materials or resources are available for them as they get started working on the project. This can include videos, guides, books/websites/podcasts etc…
