Onboarding and ramp-up tactics for developers. Accelerating time to value
The event
Getting onboarding right is one of the highest-leverage moves a technical team can make—but most companies still treat it as a checklist, not a system. In this session, Strider CEO Neal Kemp will share processes to help engineering leaders onboard developers faster, build early momentum and avoid pitfalls that lead to churn and delays.
What you'll learn
Onboarding isn't just logistical, it's also emotional
Early wins, peer mentorship, and cultural integration are essential to building confidence and commitment. Far more than just paperwork and checklists
Create systems to ramp-up, but personalize the journey
Combine spaced-out training, buddy systems, and regular check-ins with customization based on each hire’s role, background, and experience level
Avoid common pitfalls: culture > docs
Don’t drown new hires in documentation or overlook cultural integration. Involve peers and leaders from the start to create alignment and connection
