The First 90 days in a new job template imported into OpenTodo

About this template

The first three months in a new job go fast. This template breaks them into learning, contributing and leading, with subtasks for the details and estimates so you can block the time on your calendar.

How to use it

  1. Import the file; the three sections cover learning, contributing and leading over three months.
  2. Give the first week's tasks a time on the Week calendar so they do not slip.
  3. Complete the subtasks as you go; the parent shows your progress.

Make it yours

  • Replace the placeholder names with your actual team and systems.
  • Add the questions you want answered by day 30, 60 and 90 as subtasks.
  • Keep it private, or share a copy of the first section with your manager.

Import it in three steps

  1. Download the template file.
  2. In OpenTodo, open Settings, then Data, then Import data.
  3. Choose the file, check the preview, and select Import.

Due dates count from the day the file was published; move them as you like. Importing the same file twice creates nothing new, and an import can be undone. Import formats
