Cute Yak isn't it? I'll explain below... (down arrow)
Constants of any new placement ...
Acronyms (IICATs, BMIS ...)

Think back to day 1.. we were all starry eyed and ready to stand up and contribute!
But before that there was a bit of ancillary learning to do...
Fun fact: Programmers like to call this kind of prep work 'Yak Shaving'
to reflect how frustrating getting through the small, seemingly inconsequential
stuff is before digging into a project.
That said, it is necessary.
Unlike the guy above though, there are 13 of us - we should find a way to leverage this
to make the onboarding more efficient.
We have the information ...
But getting it feels like this.
Better searchability improves productivity
Who's done it well?
- Wiki: easy and searchable
- Q&A Forum: leverage graduate community
For every task we do, there is a lot more than meets the eye - learning the context
and environment of your project is important, but time consuming.
Perhaps with something like this we can create a 'beaten' path for future Grads to
fast-track their onboarding!
