Executive Onboarding & 30-60-90 Day Strategy
30-60-90 Day High-Impact Execution Roadmap
Strategic execution plan demonstrating immediate architectural discovery, high-leverage quick wins, and long-term organizational scale.
Days 1 – 30
Listen, Audit & Baseline
Theme: Deep-dive architectural Discovery & Stakeholder Alignment
Key Tactical Deliverables:
- Conduct comprehensive architecture and latency audit across core microservices.
- Review existing RFC and ADR documentation standards and establish baseline SLIs/SLOs.
- Hold 1-on-1 discovery sessions with all squad leads, Principal architects, and Product managers.
- Map deployment pipeline bottlenecks and CI/CD testing flakiness.
Quantifiable Success Criteria:
Complete Architecture Health Matrix published.
First low-risk documentation / schema fix shipped within Week 2.
Days 31 – 60
Execute & Deliver Quick Wins
Theme: High-Leverage Platform Optimizations & Team Culture
Key Tactical Deliverables:
- Implement first high-impact platform optimization (e.g. 40%+ query latency reduction via PostGIS/HNSW indexing).
- Introduce blameless postmortem culture and automated 5 Whys incident templates.
- Enforce CI/CD schema migration linters and safe lock timeout guardrails.
- Lead bi-weekly Architectural Review Board RFC discussions.
Quantifiable Success Criteria:
Measurable 35%+ reduction in P99 latency on target service.
Zero-regression release cadence maintained.
Days 61 – 90
Scale, Strategize & Empower
Theme: Long-Term Platform Vision & Engineering Mentorship
Key Tactical Deliverables:
- Author and defend comprehensive H2 Platform Architectural Roadmap RFC.
- Formalize cross-functional Error Budget and SLA governance with Product and Data leadership.
- Establish formal technical mentorship program for Senior engineers seeking Staff promotion.
- Implement automated chaos engineering & circuit breaker resilience drills in staging.
Quantifiable Success Criteria:
100% adoption of formal RFC process across engineering squads.
Measurable $200k+ annualized cloud infrastructure / query cost efficiency.
