Frequently asked questions
Who writes the 30-60-90 day plan?
The hiring manager drafts it before the start date, then reviews and refines it with the new hire in week one. Shared ownership makes the goals stick.
What's the difference between the three phases?
Days 1-30 are about learning, days 31-60 about contributing with support, and days 61-90 about owning outcomes independently. Each phase builds on the last.
Does this work for senior hires?
Yes. The phases stay the same but the goals scale — senior hires may take ownership and propose strategy faster, so weight more toward the 60 and 90-day phases.
