Performance review cycle: make Confirm the cycle scope and Performance review cycle closed visible in one plan.

This Performance review cycle template gives People and HR teams a bounded shared path through Set up the review window, Coordinate review conversations and Close the review cycle. It starts with Confirm the cycle scope and ends at Performance review cycle closed, so the project has a named completion point rather than an open-ended HR process.

The Gantt schedule turns handoffs into visible dependencies. Add real dates and owners after creation, and use the milestones to make readiness conversations explicit without treating the template as employment, legal, or policy advice.

This public starter intentionally excludes Employee performance records, Compensation decisions and Private review comments. Keep personal, employment, and other sensitive information inside the secured system your organization uses.

Included schedule

13 rows and 7 dependencies, already sequenced.
