Tips for Creating Actions from Comments

The Create Action from Comment feature gives leaders a quick way to turn constructive feedback into real, trackable steps. For example, a suggestion to improve the peer review process can easily become an action, with an owner, a due date, and a clear plan.
To get the most out of this feature:
  1. Look for themes
    Identify repeated suggestions or concerns that point to a larger issue or opportunity
  2. Keep the original intent
    When creating the action, stay true to the intent of the comment. You can edit the description to clarify next steps, but try not to lose the spirit of the feedback
  3. Follow up
    If the action leads to changes or improvements, share that with your team. It helps close the loop and encourages future feedback

Tips for Creating Actions

Use these best practices to make your actions more effective, meaningful, and engaging for your team:

  1. Talk about your actions
    The best way to build engagement is to regularly show that feedback leads to real outcomes. Highlight how team input is driving change, it’s proof that feedback doesn’t just disappear into a black hole
  2. Make it clear and achievable
    Keep each action focused and realistic. It should be something your team can control and follow through on within a reasonable timeframe
  3. Link actions to a Metric
    Wherever possible, connect actions to one of your team’s Metrics, these represent your most important focus areas. If the action doesn’t align with a specific Metric, use the “General” category
  4. Share the load
    Leaders shouldn't do it all. Assign actions across your team to foster shared ownership, accountability, and engagement
  5. Review actions in every meeting
    Start each team meeting with a quick review of your current actions. update due dates, mark things as complete, or identify anything that’s blocked and needs support
