Getting Started as a Guru Admin

🚀 Your 4 Key Goals as a Guru Admin

Launching Guru doesn’t have to be overwhelming. As the Admin, your job is to create the foundation that helps your team find trusted information, fast. Here are the four goals you’ll want to tackle as you get started:

👯‍♀️ Gather Your People

Identify the right folks to support your rollout. You’ll want:

• Champions to represent each team or department
• Knowledge Authors who know where the good info lives
• Stakeholders who can help drive adoption
• Bringing the right people in early = smoother rollout, better buy-in, and way fewer last-minute surprises.

🗓️ Set Your Timeline

Plan your rollout by working backward from when you want everyone to be using Guru confidently. Think:

• When should content creation begin?
• When should the team get access?
• When’s your official “Go Live” day?

Even a rough timeline keeps momentum moving and expectations clear.

🔌 Decide What to Connect

Where does your team’s knowledge currently live? Start with the big hitters first!

Check out all the sources you can connect to Guru.

Make a short list of the tools your team uses every day, and explore how Guru can connect to them - bringing knowledge into the flow of work.

🧠 Audit & Plan for Content

Before you start creating content in Guru, take stock of what you already have:

• What’s worth keeping, updating, or reworking?
• What’s missing entirely?
• Who will be responsible for creating new knowledge?

This will help you figure out what Cards to create, how to organize your Collections, and what your content plan should look like.
