Do you need a way to mentor others and offer feedback after an action is completed in a task-based process like incident, problem, or change management? If you do, take a look at the Coaching Loops application. This useful app enables mentors ("coaches") to help guide individual users or groups ("coachees") through their work and provide tips to improve performance.
The following terms are important in Coaching Loops:
For example, let's say the coaching discipline is incident management. Coaching opportunities in incident management could include updating an incident, changing incident priority, and closing an incident. The coaching discipline and the coaching opportunity must both exist on the same table - in this case they are both on the Incident table. When a user takes an action such as changing incident priority, an assessment record is automatically created for the user and assigned to the coach. The coach and coachee can then review the coachee task performance and enter work notes.
Creating a coaching discipline:
First, establish the process for which you want to coach users.
Creating a coaching opportunity:
Second, break the process down into specific steps where users can be coached to make better decisions.
In the Snapshot field on the Coaching Opportunity record, you can add a script that defines the evaluation process applied to the table specified in the Table field. Shown below is the sample coaching opportunity (on the task table) included in the the base system.
Lastly, have the coach add an evaluation of the coachee performance in an assessment record and note improvements for the future.
