The review ends. The plan starts.

The review is prepared in one screen, the decisions become a development plan with dates, and the next review starts where this one ended. Your cycle stays where it lives; Juno makes it move between reviews.

The review happened. Six weeks later, nothing moved.

The decisions are in a form nobody reopens, the development goal has no steps, and the next review starts from a blank page.

Whose plan has moved since the last review

From the review to a plan with dates, in one conversation

I have Noa's review on Thursday. Prepare it, and afterwards turn what we decide into her plan.

Communication · Individual contributor

  • Level 3Communicates clearly in writing and in reviews
  • Level 4Influences org-wide communication strategy
  • Four tabs, already filled

    Goals, skills, competencies and profile for one person, before you sit down.

  • Her view beside yours

    Her self-assessment and your evaluation, side by side on the same competencies.

  • Hold it against something written down

    Every competency has level descriptions, one set for individual contributors, one for managers.

  • The distance, not an impression

    Current and target levels show how far she is from what her position expects.

Turn what you decided into something with a date on it

  • From the decision to a goal

    What you agreed becomes a goal with an end date and action items.

  • Juno suggests, you decide

    Juno suggests goals from her position and competencies; the two of you choose.

  • Steps she can tick

    Each action item is a course, a task or a link, tracked on its own.

  • A mentor on the goal

    Invite a mentor onto the goal; they accept or decline, then follow it.

  • A learning digest for every manager

    One view per manager: who finished, who's overdue, and one suggested nudge.

    Your AI asks you

    Which managers or teams, which numbers matter, the period, anything from outside Juno

    The prompt

    I want a learning digest for every manager: who on their team finished what, who’s overdue, and one thing to follow up on. Use the Juno Journey connector for anything in Juno. If it isn’t connected, stop and tell me how to add it (https://docs.junojourney.com/mcp/overview). Before you build anything, ask me: 1. Which managers or departments to include 2. Which numbers matter (completions, overdue, scores, time spent) 3. The period it covers (e.g. the last 7 days) 4. Whether to add anything from outside Juno, and from where Ask these in one message, then wait for my answers. Check anything outside Juno is connected in this chat; if not, I’ll upload an export. If you can’t read completions here (analytics may be off for our account), I’ll upload an export from Juno. Never fill in numbers you can’t read. Build an interactive artifact: one view per manager with their team’s progress, overdue items and a suggested nudge. State definitions, data gaps and counts. Show me a sample for one manager first. Nothing runs on a schedule; tell me how to refresh it. Don’t send it to anyone or notify learners.

  • A completion heatmap by team and topic

    Teams down the side, topics across the top, so the gaps show up before the deadline does.

    Your AI asks you

    Which groups and topics, which courses count, what "done" means, the date range

    The prompt

    I want a completion heatmap: groups down the side, topics across the top, and each cell showing how far along that group is. Use the Juno Journey connector for anything in Juno. If it isn’t connected, stop and tell me how to add it (https://docs.junojourney.com/mcp/overview). Before you build anything, ask me: 1. Which groups (departments, roles, locations) 2. Which topics, and which courses count for each 3. What “done” means (completed, passed, above a score) 4. The date range Ask these in one message, then wait for my answers. Pull everything you can from Juno; if you can’t read completions here (analytics may be off for our account), I’ll upload an export from Juno. If a grouping lives outside Juno (e.g. an HR system, if we use one), check it’s connected in this chat; if not, I’ll upload a CSV. Never guess anyone’s group. Confirm definitions with me, then build an interactive artifact: the heatmap with counts per cell, a click-through to the people in each cell, and the three weakest spots with suggested next steps. State definitions, show sample sizes, and grey out cells too small to judge. Don’t assign or notify anyone.

  • Curate a topic channel from the best external content

    A shortlist of current courses and videos, one-line reason each. You pick what goes in.

    Your AI asks you

    The topic and audience, their level, languages, free or paid, any libraries you pay for

    The prompt

    I want a topic channel in Juno Journey filled with the best external content, so we don’t rebuild what already exists. Use the Juno Journey connector for anything in Juno. If it isn’t connected, stop and tell me how to add it (https://docs.junojourney.com/mcp/overview). Before you build anything, ask me: 1. The topic and who it’s for 2. Their level (beginner, practitioner, expert) 3. Which languages we need 4. Free only or paid too, and any content libraries we already pay for Ask these in one message, then wait for my answers. Search Juno first for internal courses on this topic; ours come first. Then find external courses, videos and articles and check each is current. Give me a shortlist in 3-5 topics, with a one-line reason and publish date per pick. Only suggest links you actually found. If a library we pay for isn’t connected in this chat, say so; I’ll connect it or paste links from it. After I approve items, create a new private channel with those topics, add only those, and preview it. Adding content to a channel with members notifies them, so ask before touching an existing one. Don’t notify anyone until I say so.

Questions people ask.

Does this replace the performance review tool we already use?

No. Your cycle stays where it lives: the forms, the ratings and the calendar remain in the tool you already use. Juno works on either side of the conversation. Before it, her self-assessment and yours sit on one screen. After it, what you decided becomes a development plan with dates, and it keeps moving until the next review.

How do you prepare for a performance review as a manager?

Read before you talk. Open the person's profile: their goals and the action items behind them, their current and target skill levels, and their competencies with their self-assessment beside your evaluation. Read both against the level descriptions for their track. You walk in with the gaps named and the last six months in front of you.

What should come out of a development conversation?

A plan with dates. One or two goals the two of you agreed, each with an end date and action items: something to learn, something to prepare, something to do. Juno can suggest goals from the person's position and competencies; the two of you choose. The plan is visible to both of you from that day.

What is a self-assessment, and how does it compare with the manager's?

A self-assessment is the person's own rating of where they stand on each competency. The manager rates the same competencies, against the same level descriptions. Set side by side, the two readings show where you agree and where you do not, which is usually the most useful part of the conversation to spend time on.

Should managers and individual contributors be measured against different expectations?

Yes, and in Juno they are. Each competency carries two sets of level descriptions: one for individual contributors and one for people who lead a team. The same competency, Communication for example, expects different things on each track, so a conversation is held against what is written for that person's own track.

Do we need a competency framework before we start?

No. A plan can start from a goal alone: the two of you agree what should change, give it an end date and break it into action items. No position and no framework are required. If you do have competencies and positions set up, Juno uses them to suggest goals and to show the distance to the next level.

How do you run a performance review cycle?

The cycle itself, the window, the forms and the calibration, stays in the tool your HR team runs it in. This page is about the conversation inside it and what becomes of the plan afterwards. For development plans across a whole population, tied to the company's goals, see Convert Business Goals into PDPs.

Can I ask ChatGPT or Claude where my team's plans stand?

Yes. With Juno's connector in ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, you ask in plain words: whose plan has moved since the last review, which action items are overdue, what is left before the check. The answer comes from Juno, within the permissions you already have, and nothing is sent or assigned without your OK.
