How To Minimize Developer On & Off-boarding Risks?

The problem:

A developer or a contractor leaving an organization or being transferred to a different project also involves active knowledge loss. This leads to a loss of mastery in some areas, as well as considerable technical issues and financial risks.

The solution:

CodeScene comes with a project planning simulation model that helps explore the off-boarding risks while the developers are still aboard. This helps identify knowledge loss risk and helps with new developer onboarding.

Benefits of this feature:

  • Explore the effects of planned off-boarding

    Explore the impact of planned off-boarding while developers are still aboard. Use this opportunity to identify risks, knowledge loss, and areas of code in need of a new main developer.

  • Auto-Detect high-risk off-boarding

    Auto-detect high-risk areas in an off-boarding simulation. Learn if there are any high-risk areas where you might lose mastery, which might lead to technical issues, delivery delays, or missed deadlines.


  • Use the Off-Boarding Simulator to Plan Time for Learning
    In case the off-boarding simulation points to significant knowledge loss of entire components or sub-systems, the information can be used to support re-planning or re-prioritizing features, as well as scheduling additional time for learning.

  • Detect off-boarding risks by combining technical and social information

  • Identify the loss of active knowledge

  • Support re-planning and re-prioritizing features

  • Plan accordingly. Find experts to replace the knowledge loss or schedule additional time for learning

Use CodeScene to Guide Developer On- and Off-Boarding

Use CodeScene’s project planning feature to identify high-risk code that might get abandoned as a result of a developer leaving. This information can facilitate the onboarding process for a new developer in that part of the code.

  • Simulate the developer off-boarding effect

  • Identify areas of code at high risk of being abandoned

  • Mitigate off-boarding risks based on real data from your codebase

  • Use these insights to facilitate the onboarding of a new developer
