Onboarding, offboarding, and channels

Prepare independent usage and coordinated service exit.

Concept and mechanism

Onboarding includes conditions for beginning work beyond account creation. Confirm eligibility, suitable access, information, capability building, and a support path that works during required hours. Training attendance is a process input; performing a representative task provides evidence closer to capability. Observe where the person becomes blocked and adapt support. The catalogue should help explain who may request the service, what they must supply, and what to expect. A technology list does not replace these conditions. If the portal depends on failed authentication, prepare an alternative channel with recording and follow-up.

Guided application

Offboarding needs similar coordination. Identify work handover, access to revoke, dependencies, and authorized data handling. Do not assume deleting everything is correct or that retaining an account indefinitely is necessary for questions. When migrating portals, confirm tasks and support in the new service before closing the old one. Open requests, records subject to internal rules, and knowledge used by support may need preparation. Temporary coexistence can help when it has scope, owners, and a review date. The exit decision should have evidence that the new journey works and authorized people handle remaining elements of the old service.

IN PRACTICE

A night shift that never rehearsed the request may need different support from the shift that joined the pilot.

Common pitfalls

Account as autonomy; training as execution; elevated privileges as a cure for delay; coexistence without review.
