Year in Wins

A free brag doc and year-in-review template for developers. Rebuild your year one win per month, track the impact and the fuzzy work, and turn your wins into sentences for reviews and salary talks.

Your memory keeps the bugs and forgets the wins. This 7-page printable template helps you see your year as it really was. Inside:

  • How to use it: rebuild your year in one evening, then add one line every Friday
  • Where to dig for forgotten wins (calendar, pull requests, tickets, thank-you messages)
  • One win per month, January to December
  • Projects and impact table
  • The fuzzy work, what you learned, who you helped, outside your job title
  • From list to sentence: a formula for reviews, salary talks and interviews
  • Next year on purpose: keep doing, stop doing, 3 goals

Made for developers, but it works for anyone who does more than they remember.
