Client Onboarding

Get your project ready before development begins.

Use this onboarding checklist to prepare decision makers, workflow notes, documents, users, launch priorities, and support expectations for your website, automation, booking, or custom software project.

Cleaner discovery call with fewer missing details
More accurate project scope and implementation timeline
Better first-release prioritization
Smoother handoff from consultation to development
Clearer training, launch, and support expectations

Preparation Steps

A smoother project starts with clear handoff details.

These steps help turn a consultation into a practical scope, timeline, and first-release plan.

01

Confirm the business owner and decision makers

Identify who approves scope, budget, timelines, content, user access, and final launch decisions so the project can move without confusion.

  • Primary business contact
  • Technical or operations contact
  • Final approver for scope and budget
  • Person responsible for content and records
02

Prepare workflow notes and sample documents

Collect the real forms, spreadsheets, reports, screenshots, and manual steps your team currently uses so the system can be designed around actual operations.

  • Current process summary
  • Sample forms or spreadsheets
  • Existing reports and exports
  • Screenshots of current tools or pain points
03

Define users, roles, and access rules

Clarify who will use the system, what each role can view or change, and which actions need approval, audit history, or restricted access.

  • Admin, manager, staff, and customer roles
  • Permissions per role
  • Approval rules
  • Data privacy or branch restrictions
04

Agree on launch priorities

Separate must-have features from future improvements so the first release is practical, focused, and easier for your team to adopt.

  • Version-one feature list
  • Nice-to-have backlog
  • Launch deadline or target month
  • Training and support expectations

What to Prepare

Bring the details that explain how your business works today.

These materials help reduce assumptions during planning and make it easier to estimate scope, training needs, and launch support.

Business profile and contact details

Current workflow notes, forms, and spreadsheets

Brand assets such as logo, colors, photos, and content

User list with expected roles and permissions

Sample reports, dashboards, or export formats

Existing website, domain, hosting, email, or system access details

Onboarding FAQ

Common preparation questions.

Do we need everything ready before a consultation?

No. The checklist simply helps make the consultation more productive. Even partial notes, sample files, or screenshots can help clarify the next step.

Can FuturePoint help organize unclear requirements?

Yes. If the workflow is still unclear, we can start with discovery, process mapping, and a smaller first-release plan before full development.

What if our process is currently only in spreadsheets or chat?

That is common. Existing spreadsheets, chat instructions, paper forms, and reports are useful references for designing a practical system.

Should we prepare login credentials?

Only prepare access when it is needed and share it through a secure handoff process. For initial planning, screenshots and descriptions are usually enough.
