What do you mean there’s no onboarding plan for engineering managers?
summary
Lemonade introduces a four-week plan that combines classroom sessions and experiences so new engineering managers practice real firsts—run a daily, lead a retrospective, own a post‑mortem—while being paired with a peer “buddy.” A survey finds 67% no plan for managers yet 100% see value; cohorts and manager buy‑in prove decisive. The checklist template and early wins speed integration, adaptations cover internal transfers versus external hires, and iterative cohorts show the plan measurably improves confidence and time to impact.
