Given that different teams tend to work on different projects, can onboarding really be scaled across the company like that? Maybe the HR stuff, but your team might maintain a repo all on its own.
- throwaway984393 5y agoI think it's doable. Teams can keep setup instructions with their repos, and commonly repeated docs can be kept in one place and linked to. Each team can create one page that links to all their setup instructions, and each team manager can add their team's page to a single engineering page. Docs that are relevant to the entire engineering org need to be created by someone assigned by an engineering VP. If nobody tells people to do all of that, it doesn't get done.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoI think it’s totally doable. Even if teams work on different projects they most like will follow similar processes, use similar tools and interact with other stakeholders in similar ways. At my company I notice people that even after years don’t really understand how things work or the bigger context of their work. A weeklong introduction into the products of the company, the different roles and common processes would be extremely helpful.
