The first-week guide is drafted. Shall we add the team channels too?
Open a project channel, keep shared notes in Canvas, and track the work in Lists. Explore the examples below to see how one team prepares for a new teammate’s first week.
Share the file and answer questions in a thread. Keep the project’s conversations where your team can find them.
Explore channelsOpen the two replies to follow the conversation.
Ask a question in a message, review a draft in a call, and record the decision in shared notes. Follow the task’s owner and status until the work is complete.
Give each project a channel. Keep replies to a message in its thread, use direct messages for smaller conversations, and search when you need to find an earlier discussion.
Join a voice room for a quick discussion. Start a video meeting and share your screen to review a draft. Keep scheduled meetings in the calendar.
Write the project plan in Canvas and share files in the channel. In Lists, see each task’s owner, status, and due date.
Give the team a page they can consult instead of explaining a decision again. Keep the project plan, meeting notes, and useful team information in Canvas.
The Project plan, Meeting notes, and Team handbook tabs show different parts of the same preparation. Open each example to see the decision, the task owners, and the information shared with the new teammate.
