Example output
Q2 2026 Performance Review — Maria Santiago, Engineering Manager
Overall: Strong period for Maria's team. Specifically:
Team outcomes:
- All five committed projects shipped on or near date.
- The migration project, which has been the biggest source of risk in the org, shipped without a customer-facing incident.
- Two engineers on her team were promoted this cycle, which is the most in any team this year.
What she's doing well:
- Strong calibration of who's ready for what scope. Promotion decisions for her team have been the easiest to defend in calibration.
- Difficult-conversation work. Maria had two performance conversations this quarter that I would have flinched at, and handled both well.
What I'd like to see next quarter:
- More visibility on her own work outside her team. She is the strongest manager in the org and people who matter at the VP level don't yet know that.
