A little clarity before you begin
Good questions.
Straightforward answers.
From your first setup checklist to your next developer, here are the details that help your software team get started.
Getting started
What does TechBoarding help my team do?
TechBoarding helps software teams organize developer onboarding and ramp-up. Bring environment setup tasks, codebase resources, and checklist progress into one workspace so developers know what to do next and engineering leads can follow along. The focus is learning the software and how the team builds it, rather than HR paperwork or employee administration.
Where do I begin?
Create an account, set up your organization, and build a checklist around your team's development environment, codebase, and contribution process. Then invite developers and connect them with the tasks and resources they need.
Is this just for new hires?
No. You can also create ramp-up checklists for developers moving to a new team, codebase, or project. Team leads and organization administrators organize the work and follow checklist progress.
Can teams outside software engineering use TechBoarding?
Yes. TechBoarding is built with software teams in mind, but any team that finds task checklists, shared resources, and progress tracking useful can use it. You choose the tasks and resources that fit your work.
Your workspace
Can I tailor the onboarding process to my team?
Yes. Create and manage checklists with your own technical tasks and resources, from local setup and architecture walkthroughs to testing and code review. Shape the process around what developers need to learn on your team.
Can I include resources with tasks?
Yes. Add a resource URL to link a task to a setup guide, architecture document, repository, or other technical reference, so developers have context when they need it.
Who can manage onboarding?
Access depends on a person’s role. Organization administrators manage the organization, team leads manage within their assigned scope, and members focus on their own onboarding work.
Plans & help
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free is the default plan for new organizations, supports up to 5 organization members and 1 team, and includes email support.
What if we have a larger team?
Starter is $19.99 per month for up to 20 organization members, 3 teams, team reports and analytics, and email support. Pro is $49.99 per month for up to 50 organization members, unlimited teams, the same reports and analytics, and priority support.
Where can I ask another question?
