| Adoption | Week 4-6 | First use case | TTFV achieved |

| Optimization | Week 7-12 | Full rollout | Steady state reached |

Step 2: Map Milestones per Phase

Kickoff Milestones:

  • [ ] Kickoff call completed
  • [ ] Success criteria documented
  • [ ] Admin account created
  • [ ] Integration requirements identified
  • [ ] Timeline agreed

Setup Milestones:

  • [ ] Technical setup complete
  • [ ] Data migration (if needed)
  • [ ] Integrations connected
  • [ ] User accounts provisioned
  • [ ] Admin trained

Adoption Milestones:

  • [ ] First workflow created
  • [ ] 50% users logged in
  • [ ] First value moment achieved

  • [ ] Champion identified

Optimization Milestones:

  • [ ] 80% users active
  • [ ] Full use case deployed
  • [ ] Self-service adoption
  • [ ] QBR scheduled
  • [ ] Expansion discussed

Step 3: Design Touchpoint Cadence

| Day | Type | Purpose | Owner |

|-----|------|---------|-------|

| 0 | Email | Welcome + next steps | Auto |

| 1 | Call | Kickoff call | CSM |

| 3 | Email | Setup checklist | Auto |

| 7 | Call | Setup review | CSM |

| 14 | Email | Training resources | Auto |

| 21 | Call | Adoption check-in | CSM |

| 30 | Email | 30-day survey | Auto |

| 45 | Call | Value review | CSM |

| 60 | Email | Optimization tips | Auto |

| 90 | Call | QBR/Health check | CSM |

Step 4: Define Success Metrics

| Metric | Target | Measurement |

|--------|--------|-------------|

| Time to Kickoff | <3 days | Contract → Kickoff |

| Time to Setup | <14 days | Kickoff → Setup complete |

| Time to First Value | <30 days | Contract → First use case |

| 30-day activation | >70% | Users logged in |

| 60-day adoption | >50% | Users weekly active |

| Onboarding CSAT | >4.5 | Survey score |

| Onboarding NPS | >50 | Survey score |
