The structure
- Context: the problem, constraints, and stakeholders.
- Actions: decisions you made and alternatives you rejected.
- Outcomes: before/after metrics and what you learned.
Choosing metrics
Pick 1–2 core metrics aligned to business outcomes. Add directional qualitative feedback for nuance. Avoid vanity counts unless you tie them to a concrete result.
Examples and prompts
- "I prioritized X over Y because … leading to Z% improvement in …"
- "We cut scope on A to hit date B; the tradeoff was C, which we mitigated by D."
- "I would change E next time because F caused G risk during H."
