Year in Review · Business & Enterprise

The year, as it actually happened.

A standalone annual report for any team or the whole organisation: OKR-based progress, team contributions, the biggest wins and losses, and what changed. Generated from the record, cited, exportable.

The problem

The annual review deck takes three weeks and remembers three months.

Every December someone assembles the year from memory and whatever slides survived. The first two quarters are a blur, the losses are softened, and the people who made the wins happen are a footnote.

How Bren does it

Twelve months of evidence, one report.

Progress against objectives

Every objective and KR for the year: achieved, partially achieved, dropped — with the linked work and the moments it turned.

Team contributions

What each team owned, shipped and marked as won or lost, in their own words from their updates. Attribution without rankings.

Biggest wins and losses

From the Wins & Losses Ledger, ranked by impact on objectives, with a one-paragraph story for each and the timeline behind it.

What changed, and what it cost

Reorgs, launches, hires, meetings cancelled, hours reclaimed. Export as PDF or Google Doc; share to Slack or Teams; use it in the board deck.

Who it is for

Who stops building the deck

Executives

A board-ready annual narrative generated in minutes, not weeks.

Department heads

A team-level review that your team recognises as true.

People and HR

A factual account of the year to anchor planning and recognition.

Can we edit it?
