Reviews

Every Coworker has a standing monthly review and a quarterly deep review. The Reviews view of Governance shows which are coming up and which were recorded recently. Select Start a review in the page header to open a dialog where you choose a Coworker and begin a review.

What you see#

The Reviews view follows the Coworkers switch on Settings, then Features; when that switch is off, the view is absent, along with its Start a review button and the Coworker links.

The view lists the Coworkers you can see, which depends on each Coworker's phase and who it is open to. You can open the view if you have the executive ability (Executive (view-only)) or the manage_coworkers ability (Supervisor). Executives see every Coworker's reviews; a Supervisor sees the reviews of the Coworkers they supervise.

Upcoming#

Upcoming is a section card listing each review due within the next two weeks, or overdue, soonest first. Each line shows the Coworker's name, the type (Monthly review or Quarterly deep review), a colon, "due" with the date, and a Start review button.

A review is due 30 days after the last monthly review, and 90 days after the last quarterly deep review. For a review that has never been recorded, the clock starts when the Coworker was created. If nothing is due, the section says "No reviews are due in the next two weeks."

Recent reviews#

Recent reviews is a section card showing the ten most recent. Each line gives the Coworker (a link that opens its review page), the type, a colon, the date, the outcome, who recorded it and the summary they wrote. The outcomes are Healthy, Watch, Sunset and Due. With none recorded, the section says "No reviews have been recorded."

If the view cannot load, it says "Reviews couldn't be loaded. Try again in a moment."

Who can record a review#

Reading the calendar is open to people with the executive or manage_coworkers ability. Recording a review needs to be the Coworker's Supervisor. Other people can open the review page but see messages that working through feedback and recording a review require the Supervisor. See Running a guided review.
