Review season fails when the cycle lives in email and sheets
Searching for review cycles usually means you need a repeatable way to open, run, and close a season. When status lives in a tracker tab, HR becomes a reminder bot and managers lose the thread.
A real review cycle needs assignment, notifications, sign-off, and progress visibility in one place.

What you need to run review cycles well
The workflow pieces growing teams use to finish on time.

Template-to-team assignments
Assign different templates to different teams inside one cycle, or keep one shared form across the org.
