Onboarding Checklist
An onboarding checklist lists the first useful tasks for a new person. Clear status shows what is done and what comes next.
Another example
A new workspace member completes a profile, invites a teammate, and creates the first project.
Main parts
- 01Useful first tasks
- 02Completion status
- 03Next task
- 04Resume point
- 05Skip path
Use it when
Use it when several small setup steps lead to the first useful result.
Do not use it when
Do not turn optional learning into a locked gate. Let people skip and return later.
Name used in code
useful tasks + real completion state + resume + skip + next step Before you ship
Check the target user, wanted result, current baseline, evidence source, scope, owner, and success level. List assumptions, open risks, and the next test or decision.
Outcome: Use Onboarding Checklist to make a focused product decision backed by evidence. User context: A new workspace member completes a profile, invites a teammate, and creates the first project. Product concept to apply: Onboarding Checklist. Why it fits: Use it when several small setup steps lead to the first useful result. Do not use it when: Do not turn optional learning into a locked gate. Let people skip and return later. Product framing: Name the target user and wanted result. Record the current baseline and evidence. Set what is in and out of scope, the limits, the owner, and the time frame. Decision quality: Keep facts, guesses, and unknowns separate. Record the options you did not choose and what evidence would change the decision. Acceptance criteria: The document names an owner, target user, measurable result, scope limit, evidence source, open risks, and next test. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): No single official standard controls the whole term. Its meaning may change across teams, platforms, or frameworks. Unknowns to confirm: Target group, baseline, success level, owner, time frame, dependencies, and review schedule.

Release checks: Check the target user, wanted result, current baseline, evidence source, scope, owner, and success level. List assumptions, open risks, and the next test or decision. Before changing code, report the evidence you found, gaps, severity, and the smallest safe fix.
