Monitoring project progress allows you to track responses, manage participation, and ensure your 360-degree feedback project stays on schedule.
After launching your project, this becomes one of the primary areas you will use.
What You Can Monitor
During an active project, use Status Reports to monitor:
- Response rates by Subject and by Responder
- Completion status for each Subject
- Completion status for each Responder
- Overall project progress
- Participation levels by responder category
Status Reports provide a real-time view of your project’s progress, helping you identify areas that may require follow-up or additional reminders.
What to Look For
When monitoring your project, pay attention to:
- Low overall response rates
- Subjects with incomplete feedback (ideally, each Subject should receive feedback from every responder category)
- Responder categories with fewer than three responses (below the confidentiality threshold)
- Missing self-assessments
- Missing Manager feedback
- Projects that are falling behind schedule
Identifying these issues early gives you the opportunity to take corrective action, such as sending additional reminders, correcting bounced-back email addresses, or extending the project timeline if needed.
Taking Action
If progress is slower than expected, you can:
- Schedule additional reminders to pending responders
- Extend deadlines if necessary
- Review responder assignments for accuracy
- Communicate directly with responders if needed
Active management helps improve completion rates and data quality.
Tips for Monitoring Progress
- Check progress regularly throughout the project
- Focus on both overall completion and individual subjects
- Send reminders early rather than waiting until deadlines
- Monitor trends across responder categories
- Keep stakeholders informed of progress where appropriate
