If Connectors Available

If ~~HRIS is connected:

• Pull prior review history and goal tracking data

• Pre-populate employee details and current role information

If ~~project tracker is connected:

• Pull completed work and contributions for the review period

• Reference specific tickets and project milestones as evidence

Tips

• Be specific — "Great job" isn't feedback. "You reduced deploy time 40% by implementing the new CI pipeline" is.

• Balance positive and constructive — Both are essential. Neither should be a surprise.

• Focus on behaviors, not personality — "Your documentation has been incomplete" vs. "You're careless."

• Make development actionable — "Improve communication" is vague. "Present at the next team all-hands" is actionable.
