I would like to add shadowing. It’s important for the new team member to be eased into projects. They need to be included in all communications and meetings regarding projects they will be working on. This approach allows them to understand the culture and how team members and clients interact with each other.

Useful tips, the other thing I’d add is that for any team, expanding its size, even if done well per your guidance steps comes with significant cost. This because of the need for training and context for the new team member and the expansion of the communication nework, I explain in more detail here: http://strategicppm.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/team-size-and-performance/

“It’s important to remember the amount of information a new team member has to catch up on (or come up with a summary that will do the same job).” I’m thinking that getting the extant group to create that summary would be a great milestone for the whole group. Also gives the group a chance to see if any org adjustments should be made given the new member’s skill set. Excellent list of steps – thanks.
