Execution & Planning
Knowledge Transfer (KT) Plan
Two-day intensive onboarding schedule for the engineering team.
Knowledge Transfer (KT) Schedule
To ensure the entire 8-person team is fully aligned on the product vision, domain, and technical architecture before execution begins, we will conduct a rigorous 2-day Knowledge Transfer (KT) launchpad.
The KT is structured as 6-7 productive hours per day, split into focused sessions. After every major topic, we hold a discussion/Q&A so everyone is aligned before moving to the next.
