Hi there,

Launching a new process is tough.

(Almost) everyone has feedback as soon as you roll it out.

It can feel overwhelming. 😵‍💫

Let’s lighten that mental load.

Remote Octopus recommends creating a process-specific retro doc as soon as you launch a new process.

Why?

You can use it to quickly document everyone’s feedback in one place.

After launching a new process, colleagues often start to share feedback everywhere – Slack, random project calls, in Google Doc comments, etc. Their feedback can get lost in the shuffle (or lost in your brain).

But their qualitative feedback is gold. 💎

It is the key to further improving v2 of the process for your colleagues.

By creating a retro doc before you launch the process, you now have an easy place to copy/paste their feedback as it rolls in. Their feedback becomes centralized and more actionable for future you.

P.S. Don’t forget to advance schedule your retro conversation too. It’s a fantastic learning opportunity to dive deeper into this collective feedback while also uncovering additional process improvement opportunities.
