Frequently asked questions

Related:

How should a manager prepare for a performance review?

Review goals, notes from 1:1s and examples of work across the whole period, not only the last month.

How are reviews different from 1:1s?

1:1s are regular check-ins. A review steps back over a longer period and sets goals for the next one.

Is this performance review meeting template free?

Yes. Copy it into Google Docs, Word, Notion or an email and use it as often as you like. No sign-up needed.

Can AI fill in the performance review meeting for me?

Yes. Acta records the meeting on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, with or without a bot, or in person with the mobile app, and writes the notes, decisions and action items with owners afterwards. Anything the meeting didn't cover is left out, not made up.
