The 'Time to Onboard' metric is a key parameter in Rocketlane that measures the duration required to complete the onboarding phase of a project. Below, we explain its definition, key components, and methodology.
Overview of the 'Time to Onboard' Metric
The 'Time to Onboard' metric measures the time interval from the creation of a project to the completion of onboarding. This is a useful indicator for tracking the efficiency and speed of the onboarding process within your organization.
Key Events in the Metric Calculation
The calculation of this metric is based on the following key events:
Creation: - This marks the start of the project timeline and refers to the day the project is created in Rocketlane.
Launch: - This marks the end of the onboarding period. Specifically, it occurs when the 'New Onboarding Handover' is completed within the project.
Calculation Methodology
The 'Time to Onboard' metric is calculated as the duration between the Creation and Launch events. Several aspects of this calculation are worth noting:
Interval Measurement: - The metric represents an interval that captures the total time taken for onboarding.
Business Days Only: - The calculation excludes weekends and public holidays, measuring the duration in business days rather than calendar days. This ensures the metric accurately reflects working time.
Key Takeaways
The 'Time to Onboard' metric is essential for evaluating onboarding efficiency.
It starts from the day the project is created and ends when the onboarding handover is marked as complete.
The interval is calculated in business days to provide a precise measure of active working support.
