Tell me about your non-terrible forms-based appraisal workflow

[pete]

Where 100% of your time is spent writing and a well-formatted document emerges from the other end.

 

vs 90% of the time reformatting a template and 10% adding information to it.

 

So far I'm thinking MS Form > Excel > Template with maybe some MS Flow thrown in for sign-off

 

Stumbling blocks are:

 

• Multiple people (appraisee and appraiser) will contribute to the document
  
• Needs a review stage for everyone to agree before final draft is generated
  
• Shouldn't be dependent on IT maintaining it in the future (i.e simple enough it can be handed over to HR / HR can recreate with tools available to them)

The problem I've foind with MS Flow is that if someone fails to respond to something it will eventually time out and just kinda get dropped.
