Google Apps Script is free with any Google account, with the rate limit of one Sheets write per second per user. Google Forms is free. Formester's free plan includes unlimited submissions.

The structure is consistent across roles; the content varies. Build the plan in the offer week (not day 1), put the weekly 1:1 and three checkpoints on the calendar before the hire starts, and treat the plan as a living document that gets updated at each checkpoint. Then it is a tool, not a folder artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Csection class=\"faq\">\n\u003Ch2>30-60-90 day onboarding plan FAQ\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cdetails>\u003Csummary>What is a 30-60-90 day plan?\u003C\u002Fsummary>\u003Cdiv>A structured roadmap for a new hire's first three months.
