Vinnie, excellent answer - it really clarified a lot. Combined with previous and detailed insights from authors (thanks peter, claudio, darryl, robert!), most of my questions around the unclear context and culture have been addressed (for now :p ). I am glad steps are being taken to freeze these cultural points into solid documentation that boostlings like me can use. Since I was down a GoogleDoc hole, I compiled some constructive feedback from this thread and others and drafted a template document that could (maybe/possibly/dontroastme) be a base for Review Manager reports: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zHV1ygtC5x7vUWuJk2ib11NlRhgS20U4ELwft49R... It is far from perfect, it does not replace actual mentoring, but at least it gives a clear outline of what kind of report is expected from the Review Manager, and from the RM perspective it takes away the mental charge of putting together the structure and document. Hopefully, with enhancements from the ML, this can help in achieving GRP-level stuff (Great Reviews of the Past), I personally do not have more interrogations. I deeply appreciate how appeased and constructive the dialogue was. Thanks for having all chimed in! I would be irreverent I would say that this Retrospective Phase proved itself to be fruitful and useful, but I am no such thing <3 Have a great week (tomorrow is vacation day in France) 🥳 Best wishes and frenchy kitties, Arno
