Phase
Build · 3 of 5
Squad
Activation
Objective
Rebuild the first-run experience so a new workspace reaches its first activated outcome in under 10 minutes, lifting week-1 activation from 41% to 60% and cutting onboarding support tickets by a third.
Problem
New accounts hit a wall before value. The current 9-step setup wizard is linear, forces config decisions up front, and shows an empty dashboard on completion.
47% of trials never complete setup, and activation has slid for three consecutive quarters as our ICP shifted toward smaller, self-serve teams.
Goals
- Reach activation (first report shared) in < 10 min, down from a 26 min median.
- Lift week-1 activation rate from 41% → 60%.
- Cut onboarding-tagged support tickets by 33%.
- Ship a reusable checklist + sample-data framework other squads can adopt.
Scope
In Scope
- Progressive setup checklist with sample-data seeding
- Role-based first-run paths (Admin / Analyst / Viewer)
- In-product activation telemetry & funnel events
- Redesigned empty states with one-click templates
Out of Scope
- Billing & plan-selection redesign
- Mobile app onboarding (tracked separately)
- SSO / SCIM provisioning changes
- Marketing-site signup funnel

Risks
High
Sample-data seeding may slow large-tenant provisioning. Mitigation: async backfill + load test by Jun 09.
Med
Telemetry gaps could blur activation funnel reads. Mitigation: event audit before beta.
Low
Copy localization trails GA for 4 locales. Mitigation: ship EN, fast-follow.
Current Status
Build phase is on track. The progressive checklist and sample-data seeder are in code review; usability scores rose from 68 to 86 SUS in the May round. Watching provisioning latency on enterprise tenants closely.
Next Steps
- Lock activation event schema — Tom · Jun 02
- Load-test seeding at 10k rows — Diego · Jun 09
- Recruit 8 beta workspaces — Lena · Jun 13
