Probation review template when you need the meeting to sound specific
A probation review usually comes down to four things: what you took on, what changed, why it mattered, and what you are ready to own next. Most people have the work. They just do not have it in one shape.
Fast chooser
- Use this template if you want the free first draft.
- Buy the £17 new job playbook if you are still inside the first 90 days and want the cleanest paid shortcut.
- Buy the £24 prep kit if the probation review is this week and your notes need cleaner wording.
- Use the £19 tracker if you want to keep the proof habit after probation.
Plain probation review template
What I took on: During my first [30, 60, or 90] days, I took on [task, queue, customer work, or process].
What I improved: I [clarified, fixed, documented, or sped up] the work by [specific action].
What changed: That helped [team, customer, or manager] by [specific result, smaller delay, clearer ownership, fewer dropped details, or lower risk].
What I want next: In the next review period, I want to own [next area, responsibility, or improvement].
One concrete moment
Pick one handoff, cleanup, customer save, or repeated problem you improved.
One proof detail
Add a date, owner, number, deadline, or customer note so the review reads like your work.
One next-step signal
Show what you are ready to carry in the next quarter, not only what already happened.
Best paid next step by timing
If you still need to collect first-quarter proof, start with the £17 new job playbook. If the meeting is already close, use the £24 prep kit. If probation is ending and you want a longer-term proof system, move to the £19 tracker.
