Better Onboarding Journeys

Onboarding is not just a single event in the user’s experience. It is a process that links together many events, over time, to acclimate people to a new product or service. A well designed user onboarding experience will guide new users toward retention and engagement, support different user situations, and guide them through multiple stages of their journeys as they interact with a product.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

How to apply guided interaction as an onboarding strategy;
How to define the end-goal of onboarding;
How to map new user onboarding journeys with your team;
How to prioritise key onboarding actions;
And how to apply guidance to a single onboarding action.

This workshop will be a mixture of presentation and hands-on-activities hosted via Zoom and digital collaboration tool MURAL.

Attendees of this course will get a free Better Onboarding e-book at course completion.
