It's that time of the year: Performance Reviews & Feedback
Whether you started reviewing 2023 already or planning to do so in January, it's likely you're about to prepare yourself for the yearly performance reviews.
I've started to look back and I'm always happy with the fact that I've been keeping track of significant initiatives throughout the year. You won't be the first to be surprised how much you've done!
I've often looked back and realized:
"Oh, this was actually this year?! It feels so long ago!"
Therefore, keeping track of achievements throughout the year helps you create a detailed list of your performance.
I know it's a little too late for this tip to make use of in 2023, but I also have techniques to get an overview of achievements in retrospect:
- Go over personally merged PRs. Scan the PR titles and remind yourself of the projects you've worked on
- Scan major app releases for release notes. It often reminds you of larger initiatives
I'm always writing my personal review in one go, but I only submit it after at least a week. Getting back in the context of your year's performance brings back reflection in the days to follow. By allowing yourself to fulfill the review over at least a week, you'll create a much more detailed performance overview.
