Feedback request templates

Ask about a specific piece of work, not about the person in general. These templates give colleagues a clear, short set of questions.

General feedback

Open feedback about your work in general.

  • What should I keep doing?
  • What could I do differently?
  • Anything else you'd like to tell me? (optional)

Project or delivery

After a project, launch or piece of work you did together.

  • What went well in this project?
  • What could be different next time?
  • How clear was my communication during the project? (1 to 5, optional)

Presentation or talk

After a presentation, demo, workshop or talk.

  • What was the clearest or most useful part?
  • What was hard to follow?
  • How useful was it for your work? (1 to 5, optional)

Quarter review

Before a review or a 1:1 about the last few months.

  • What has gone well in the last few months?
  • What's one thing I should start, stop or continue?
  • Where could I have more impact next quarter? (optional)

Confirm an achievement

Ask people who saw it to confirm something you did. Confirmations become evidence.

  • Did you see this? "I led the migration to the new billing provider in September." (Saw it directly, Saw part of it, No visibility, Saw something different)
  • What difference did it make, from what you saw? (optional)
