What you will find in this guide

This manual explains simply how to start working in your daily routine. Here you will find the basic principles to organize your work, communicate with the team, and use the usual tools efficiently. You don't need to memorize everything now. The idea is that you can consult it whenever you need.

Access your tools

Before starting, make sure you have access to the basic work tools.

They usually include:

• Internal communication
• Task or project manager
• Document repository
• Shared calendar

If any access is missing, ask your manager or the responsible team for help.

Review the basic information

Before starting to execute tasks, take some time to understand the context.

Review the available documentation on:

• Internal communication
• Task or project manager
• Document repository
• Shared calendar

Understanding the context will help you work more confidently from the start.

Organize your workspace

Good organization from the start greatly facilitates daily work.

Some simple practices that help:

• Check the calendar at the start of the day
• Keep your tasks updated
• Save information in the correct shared spaces
• Avoid duplicate documents

Small organizational habits save a lot of time later.

How to manage tasks

Work is usually organized through tasks or projects within a common tool.

When you receive a task:

• Review the goal and the context
• Confirm the priority and the deadline
• Ask if anything is unclear
• Update the status as you progress

Visibility of work helps the entire team stay aligned.

How to communicate with the team

Clear communication prevents confusion and rework.

Some good practices:

• Use the appropriate channels for each type of conversation
• Be clear and direct when explaining questions or progress
• Share relevant information with the team
• Avoid having important conversations only in private

When information is accessible, work flows better.

Document what's important

Documenting work helps ensure knowledge doesn't depend on a single person.

Whenever possible:

• Save processes and learnings
• Add context to important documents
• Update information when it changes

Clear documentation makes everyone's work easier.

Ask when you need it

You are not expected to know everything from day one.

If something is not clear:

• Ask your manager

• Consult your team
• Review the available documentation

Asking questions on time usually saves a lot of problems later.

Prioritize and progress step by step

At the start, it's normal to encounter a lot of new information.

To move forward clearly:

• Start with the priority tasks
• Break the work into manageable steps

• Confirm expectations if something is unclear

It's not about doing everything quickly, but about progressing meaningfully.

Review and adjust

As you progress, you'll better understand how the processes and tools work.

It's normal to adjust the way of working during the first few weeks. Observe, learn, and improve little by little.
