What is the Fixing the Client Onboarding Workflow That course about?

Client onboarding cycles repeat with the same friction points: last-minute scope changes, missing handoff artifacts, rework due to misaligned stakeholders, and documentation that’s always behind. The process never sticks, even after multiple fixes. Each iteration burns time and trust. You end up firefighting instead of delivering , and the pattern repeats monthly.

If nothing changes
Without a stable onboarding workflow, rework will continue to erode delivery timelines, stakeholder trust, and engineering bandwidth , especially under current role instability pressure at your employer.
