Time to productive
For engineering managers 4 min read
How fast joiners go from their first day to delivering, measured from real onboarding, access and ownership state.
Time to productive measures how fast your engineers go from joining to delivering on their project, and how many get there within 30 days. It's derived from what actually happened in onboarding, access and ownership, never self-reported.
Milestones
| Milestone | Target day |
|---|---|
| Joined | Day 0 |
| Access-ready | Day 0 |
| Environment-ready | Day 3 |
| Contributing (first PR) | Day 7 |
| Delivering (first task) | Day 21 |
| Productive | Day 30 |
A milestone shows signal pending when the system that proves it, such as source control for a first pull request, isn't connected yet. Connect it on Get started.
