Cohorts group people who start around the same time, such as an onboarding intake, a training class, or a bootcamp, so they go through the same program together. Build one cohort program and Doozy creates each cohort, adds the right people, opens a Slack channel if you want one, and runs your tracks on schedule.

How cohorts form

Choose how people are added when you create the program.

By start date: set a cadence of daily, weekly, every two weeks, or every four weeks. Doozy creates cohorts on that schedule and adds the people whose start date falls in each one's range
Add manually: create each cohort yourself, set its dates, and pick its members

Start dates come from your connected HRIS, or from Slack join dates when there's no HRIS.

A Slack channel per cohort

Each cohort gets a fresh channel, created from a name template based on the program name, with a live preview as you edit it. Link one channel that every cohort shares instead, or run a program with no channel at all. Facilitators on the program's access list are added to each cohort's channel to help run the cohort.

Cohort tracks and per-person tracks

A program runs two kinds of tracks:

A cohort track runs once for the whole group, such as a kickoff post in the channel or a group quiz
A per-person track runs for each person, timed from the cohort's start in their own timezone

Managing a cohort

Add, exclude, restore, or move people between cohorts in the same program
Change a cohort's intake dates, split one in two, or remove a week from the schedule
Late starters join a cohort that's already running and catch up; if theirs has finished, they fall forward to the next one
Pause a program to stop new cohorts forming, without interrupting cohorts already under way
Give each person viewer, editor, or admin access per program

Cohorts is rolling out gradually. Contact support@doozy.live to turn it on for your workspace.
