Description

Design or improve onboarding flows, empty states, and first-time user experiences. Helps users get started successfully and understand value quickly.

Assess Onboarding Needs

Understand what users need to learn and why: • Identify the challenge: • What are users trying to accomplish? • What's confusing or unclear about current experience? • Where do users get stuck or drop off? • What's the "aha moment" we want users to reach? • Understand the users: • What's their experience level? (Beginners, power users, mixed?) • What's their motivation? (Excited and exploring? Required by work?) • What's their time commitment? (5 minutes? 30 minutes?) • What alternatives do they know? (Coming from competitor? New to category?) • Define success: • What's the minimum users need to learn to be successful? • What's the key action we want them to take? (First project? First invite?) • How do we know onboarding worked? (Completion rate? Time to value?) CRITICAL: Onboarding should get users to value as quickly as possible, not teach everything possible.

Onboarding Principles

Follow these core principles:

Show, Don't Tell

• Demonstrate with working examples, not just descriptions • Provide real functionality in onboarding, not separate tutorial mode • Use progressive disclosure - teach one thing at a time

Make It Optional (When Possible)

• Let experienced users skip onboarding • Don't block access to product • Provide "Skip" or "I'll explore on my own" options
