From Kickoff to Full Integration

Seamless Onboarding to Set You Up for Success

We understand that an effective onboarding experience is essential for the success of outsourcing projects. Our process ensures rapid implementation and a smooth transition to project execution by clearly communicating all details. This foundation fosters teamwork and drives exceptional results that meet or exceed expectations.

Your Concerns About Onboarding Are Real

Bringing an external testing partner on board can feel overwhelming. You may be concerned about how much time the onboarding will require, whether your existing team will be overburdened, and if all expectations will be clearly communicated.

Our Onboarding Approach

Our approach is built on over 20 years of experience, during which we have continuously refined and optimized our onboarding process. By leveraging lessons learned from numerous projects, we ensure our approach is efficient, minimizes disruption, and quickly integrates new teams into productive workflows. Our experience allows us to anticipate and address challenges proactively, ensuring a smoother and faster onboarding experience for our clients.

Kickoff Meeting

We begin our partnership with a structured kickoff meeting. This meeting marks the official start of our collaboration and includes:

  • Team Introductions: Introduce key QASource team members and connect with the customer’s main contact points.
  • Roles and Responsibilities: Define roles for both teams and share contact details to ensure clarity from day one.

Information Gathering

We collect all the essential details needed to start the project successfully:

  • Project Scope and Objectives: Collect information about the project’s scope, goals, and expected outcomes.
  • Product Knowledge: Gather necessary documentation, demos, and access to the knowledge base to understand the product deeply.

Access Setup and Credentials

Ensuring secure access is critical for smooth collaboration:

  • Client Environments: Set up access to client environments, including codebases, tools, and technologies.
  • Secure Infrastructure: Discuss secure connections between your IT infrastructure and ours, including any exclusive devices that may be provisioned for the project.

Establishing Communication Cadence

Clear communication is key to success. We establish a consistent cadence for communication:

  • Knowledge Transfer Sessions: Schedule regular knowledge transfer meetings and daily status updates to keep everyone aligned.
  • Progress Reviews: Set up biweekly or monthly progress review meetings to address roadblocks, track milestones, and set future priorities.
  • Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs): Involve C-suite/VP-level customer representatives to review progress and strategic alignment.

Documentation and Tools

We ensure everyone is equipped with the tools and documentation needed for effective collaboration:

  • Access to Project Documentation: Provide instructions for accessing project plans, requirements, and design documents.
  • Tool Integration: We integrate with your preferred project management and communication tools.

Regular Meetings and Change Management

  • Status Updates: Hold regular meetings to review progress, provide feedback, and maintain alignment.
  • Scope Definition and Change Management: Define scope clearly and manage changes transparently.
