Build an Onboarding Plan for a New Team Member

A new starter joins Monday and your plan so far is a calendar full of intro calls. This builds a proper 30-day onboarding: who they meet and what to ask, what access they need on day one versus later, and the unwritten team norms worth saying out loud. They leave the first month genuinely useful, not just oriented.

A new person is joining your team in {ROLE_TITLE}. You want their first 30 days to be structured, welcoming, and genuinely useful rather than a list of meetings and logins.

<task>
**Design a 30-day onboarding plan:**

**Days 1 to 5, orientation:**
- People to meet and what to ask them
- Systems access: what they need on Day 1 vs what can wait
- Team norms and unwritten rules to share explicitly

**Days 6 to 15, immersion:**
- One small real task to complete and ship
- How to shadow without becoming passive
- Check-in cadence: daily standup, 1-2-1 frequency

**Days 16 to 30, contribution:**
- First independent piece of work
- Feedback loop: how they give upward feedback, how you give it to them
- 30-day review: what success looks like
