Hi João,
As you will probably realise during the following days, I'm a big fan of working in ways that favour asynchronous communication, so I decided to set up a few notes regarding my onboarding to discuss with you. Hopefully you can find a few minutes to go over them before we jump on a call so we can get straight into it. Otherwise, this can simply act as an agenda. I guess you also have your own agenda regarding my entrance, so let's see how much we overlap.
I think the main goal for my first weeks is mostly going to be becoming familiar with XL and Data. If I had to think what this entails, from general to specific, I think my grocery list would look like this:
- Getting familiar with XL
- Understand how the tech teams are divided between ES, PT, PL
- Understand how day to day operations work
- Understand the tech stack behind the app(s)
- Get familiar with the backlog and roadmap around the app and service
- Getting familiar with what's going on in data, business-wise
- Understand the existing tools/products/services that we (Data) have running for other teams and ourselves (more from a business point of view: who is depending on us for what)
- Understand which teams are we working more with and on what (as in, streams of work currently active)
- Understand the roadmap for data a bit more medium/long term
- Understanding what has been built in data, technical-wise
- Understand the stack and systems behind the existings tools/products/services that we (Data) have running
- Make the link between the app/operational systems and what we have in Data
- Get familiar with the current challenges on making the general data model, deploying Prefect, Trino, and whatever is also going on technical-wise that I'm not aware of
- Playing who is who and get some exposure to key people
- Understanding who is who in Data. I would like to grab a coffee with each team member 1-1 to know them a bit personally and also to hear from them about what they tipically work on, what are they most familiar with, what is their skillset, etc
- Getting to know whoever is important within XL. Here I will need your help to make the list of key profiles. I think knowing the right people and having them know me can lubricate things quite a bit, and the excuse of joining is a good chance to disturb peope with an initial coffee.
- Understanding your expectations on me and the teams way of working
- Become familiar with how work is organized and managed within the team and when interacting with other teams
- Understanding better your philosophy: what you like, what you don't, your expectations, how you measure success, etc.
I could think of other important things or more level of detail on the previous ones, but I will keep at this for now for simplicity's sake.
More tactical stuff that is also on my mind:
- Are there any handbooks or training for new joiners?
- Data new joiner handbook
- I want to be a personal shopper for a day or two
- Key HR person for payslips, benefits and similar
- Are we a Google Suite house or a Microsoft Office house?
- Do we have any training platform? (Udemy, coursera, edx, etc)
- Holidays: is there a tracker for that?
- Get contract signed by Promotech from Maria
