Records
Performance Cycles
The period, the rating scale and whether ratings have to fit a distribution.
Open
Records
Performance Reviews
Performance and potential are different axes, and conflating them is what makes a nine-box impossible to build later.
Open
Records
Goals
How a goal is judged has to be agreed before the period rather than argued after it, which is what the measure and target are for.
Open
Records
Goal Check-ins
Where each goal stood at each check-in, the owner’s update and the manager’s answer.

Check-in Status
Each goal’s check-in clock: the cycle’s cadence, the last check-in, when the next is due, and which are overdue.
Open
Records
Development Plans
What a person will do to grow: actions with due dates, linked to courses and skills. Activating a plan enrols its courses.
Open
Records
Development Actions
The steps of each plan: a course (enrolled, and closed when completed), a skill to a level, mentoring, a stretch assignment.

Records
Review Workflows
The steps a performance review passes through, per review type or chosen on a cycle: self review, manager review, calibration, approval, acknowledgement.

Review Workflow Steps
Each step, in order: what it is, who acts (the employee, their manager, the manager’s manager, or a role) and how many days it has.

Review History
Every move of every review: who started, submitted, approved, sent back or acknowledged it, and what they said.
Open
Records
Talent Profiles
The nine-box as its two axes, plus flight risk, mobility and what the person themselves says they want — which is not the same as what has been planned for them.
Open
Records
Succession Plans
A plan is for a POSITION, not for a person — planning succession for a person is how you end up with no plan when they are promoted.
Open
Records
Succession Candidates
Whether the candidate knows matters: a plan they have been told about and one they have not are different instruments.
