30-60-90 day plan template for a new job

A 30-60-90 day plan shows what you'll do in your first three months in a new role: learn in the first 30 days, contribute by day 60, and own something by day 90. This template takes you from the interview to your 90-day review, with the proof written down.

Use it before you're hired

Many interviewers ask "What would you do in your first 90 days?" The My 30-60-90 Day Plan page is the version to bring to an interview: your approach in one sentence, your focus and goals for each phase, and what you'd ask on day one. It shows you've thought about the job, not just the offer.

Then use it to start well

Once you have the offer, the 30-60-90 Day Plan works as a planner for the first three months.

  • Before Day 1 and Your First Week: logistics, what to find out, and a checklist for the first five days.
  • Days 1 to 30, learn: expectations with your manager, people to meet, a listening tour with five questions to ask, and a learning log.
  • Days 31 to 60, contribute: a Quick Wins Finder that rates small improvements by impact and effort.
  • Days 61 to 90, own: your first big project and a 90-Day Review.
  • Every week: a Weekly Plan & Wins page, a Wins Log and 1:1 notes with your manager.

Changing jobs?

The plan is undated, so you can start the day you get the offer. If you're still searching, the Interview Prep Workbook helps you prepare STAR stories and practice questions, and the Job Application Tracker keeps every application and follow-up in one spreadsheet.
