Week 1: Platform fundamentals

Train teams on queue structure, workflow tiers, and incident severity definitions before touching live production routes.

Strong fundamentals reduce avoidable mistakes during early adoption.

Week 2: Shadow operations

New operators should shadow real incident and routing decisions to understand tradeoffs under production pressure.

Shadowing accelerates context transfer more effectively than documentation alone.

Week 3: Supervised ownership

Give new team members bounded ownership with escalation guardrails and clear success metrics.

Supervised ownership builds confidence while controlling operational risk.

Week 4: Readiness certification

Use scenario-based assessments for queue overload, SLA risk, and incident communication readiness.

Readiness certification ensures onboarding quality is measurable and repeatable.
