Why this starter helps

This template gives the blank canvas a gentle first shape. Keep the branches that help, rename the ones that do not, and add dates, checklists, notes or tables only where they reduce remembering.

Make it yours in three moves

Start with the centre
Write the outcome or question that makes this new hire onboarding useful.
Keep only the useful branches
Rename, remove or add branches until the map reflects your real context.
Choose the next move
Give one thought a date, owner or checklist so clarity turns into follow-through.
