# Informal review process

1. **Feedback panel requests:** Suggest peers to your Manager by providing [names of 2-4 teammates](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_EoF9SUvQNA_Je9VdaZ7W54a-_kSfGG03Y-37AaABpnst_Q/viewform) who you feel can most effectively provide feedback on your achievements and performance over the past year (okay to include community members in addition to staff). Your Manager may adjust the peer nominations prior to the panel being finalized.
2. **Feedback panel selection:** Your manager will take your input along with other managers’ input to select teammates and community members from the list provided to give [feedback on your performance](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JNlDCAOgUjjLSJj5EoNe7Pl5kqN6KN7LaEIlM5L9LXw/edit).
3. **Peer feedback:** HR will share a peer feedback survey with each person on the panel to solicit feedback. This peer feedback survey is slightly different from the Formal Process.
4. **Review discussion:** Your manager will review your Performance Eval feedback with you 1-2 weeks after collecting feedback.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.mattermost.com/operations/workplace/people/performance-reviews-50/informal-review-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
