Prepare my 90-day check-in with my manager
A concise review of your first 90 days, plus feedback questions and goals for the next six months.
The prompt
Help me prepare for my 90-day check-in with my manager in my new job. This is step 3 of my new-job plan; use the themes from my listening tour (step 2) and my 90-day plan if I have one.
My role and start date: [DETAILS]
What I planned to do: [GOALS or 90-day plan]
What I actually delivered: [RESULTS, with numbers where I have them]
What didn't go as planned and why: [DETAILS]
Feedback I've received so far: [QUOTES or summary]
Whether this is a formal probation review: [yes / no]
Give me:
1. A one-page summary: highlights, what I learned about the business, what's still in progress, and what I'd do differently.
2. Questions to get honest feedback ("What should I do more of and less of?", "Where am I not meeting your expectations yet?").
3. Proposed goals for the next 6 months, tied to my manager's priorities, for us to agree on.
4. Topics to raise if relevant: support I need, scope clarity, development, and my longer-term path.
5. If this is a probation review, the points that matter most and how to address any concern factually.
Use only the results I provide; mark anything missing as [ADD].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
