SEE HOW IT WORKS

Less chasing.
Better conversations.

Choose your role. Then try an example.

Your perspective

Know who needs a follow-up.

See which teams have clear expectations and which managers owe a response. No employee rankings.

Give feedback while it helps.

Reply to a check-in, agree a next step, and get back to work. The history is ready for your next review.

Keep reviews moving.

Set the schedule, manage teams, and spot missed responses. Managing the process doesn’t automatically grant access to private feedback.

Know how you’re doing.

See your expectations, ask for help, and respond to feedback. Your side of the conversation stays in the record.

Example team
EXPECTATION

Finish the work. Make the handoff clear.

Test your changes and agree who reviews them. Ask early if you’re stuck.

MANAGER FEEDBACK

“Tuesday’s migration looked ready, but nobody knew who should review it. Please name a reviewer next time.”

First shared hereA new concern, with a follow-up.
EMPLOYEE RESPONSE

“I thought we were waiting for team approval. Who should I ask to sign off?”

A question, not an agreement.
NEXT STEPS
Contributor

Ask the reviewer before the next handoff.

Manager

Confirm who can sign off by Thursday.

EXPECTATION

Leave the next person ready to help the customer.

Name who’s taking over and when the customer will hear back.

MANAGER FEEDBACK

“The renewal notes were helpful, but nobody picked up the next step. The customer waited an extra day.”

First shared hereA new concern, with a follow-up.
EMPLOYEE RESPONSE

“I thought the account team had it. Who takes over when the customer also needs technical help?”

A question, not an agreement.
NEXT STEPS
Contributor

Confirm the owner and reply date at each handoff.

Manager

Agree who handles these cases by Thursday.

Illustrative examples. People write and share their own feedback.

01 / EXPECTATIONS

Agree what matters.

Start with three clear expectations. Role templates give you a head start.

02 / CHECK-INS

Keep it brief.

Share progress, ask for help, get a reply. Choose a weekly, two-week, or four-week schedule.

03 / REVIEWS

Skip the memory test.

Review the conversations you’ve already had. Agree what’s next and who will help.

CLEAR FROM THE START

Your words.
Your say.

Your draft stays yours.

Only you see your draft. Before sharing, see who can read the conversation.

Reading isn’t agreeing.

Ask a question or disagree. Both responses stay with the feedback, even if it’s later corrected.

AI helps when you ask.

Tidy a draft or get help with a recap. You decide what to say and when to share it.

Connect feedback with strategy in Compass or engineering evidence in Sight. Each product is sold separately.

Is Relay just for developers?

No. Relay works for any role, on its own. Developers can add context from Sight; anyone can connect their work to a Compass priority.

Does everyone need to join at once?

No. Start with one manager and a few people. Add more teams when you’re ready.

Can we use our existing company sign-in?

Yes: Google, Microsoft, or enterprise SAML/OIDC. Email and password work too. Linking an existing account requires a one-time verification.

Who can read my feedback?

You, your current management chain, and HR staff explicitly given review access. Relay lists the readers on your review page. Drafts stay private.
