How to Reduce Onboarding Costs by Using a Code Repository

How to Reduce Onboarding Costs by Using a Code Repository

Onboarding new developers into a project is a time-demanding and costly process, isn’t it? Just finding a proper specialist isn’t sufficient. We all know that every software development company has its own practices and uses its own tools. And those tools might be even in-house developed. Therefore, it doesn't matter how skilled and experienced your new team member is, they will need to learn a lot. Sometimes, it takes pretty much time for them to learn all about the project they start working on (to start coding new features, for example), about the company’s corporate culture, and the commonly accepted practices and processes. Needless to mention the extensive documentation, and similar. In most cases, you might not even be sure that your new team members can handle all the load of new information on their own. So, somebody more experienced is needed to help them, to guide them through the labyrinth of new information. This “somebody” is one of your more experienced developers, and they also will spend their time on onboarding procedures, guiding and coaching their new colleagues. It means more expenses. At Mad Devs, we aim to reduce onboarding costs. To do so, we provide new developers with extensive documentation, tests, and high-quality code. No, we don’t eliminate the need for coaching and guidance from more experienced team members. But the mentioned prerequisites allow us to ensure the reduction of the learning curve for new developers. Therefore, they can move to the actual work faster. Here are some of our practices that help us to make the onboarding process cheaper and faster.
