Ramp Period

Definitions

1. The time it takes for a new hire, team, product, or initiative to reach expected productivity or performance levels. Ramp periods matter especially in sales and customer-facing functions where productivity is delayed after hiring.

   In plain English: The period needed to get up to full productivity.

   Example: "The model assumed a six-month ramp period for enterprise reps, which turned out optimistic."
