Lessons LearnedRecommendations o “This tool may be helpful in
writing an evaluation for my manager … I will try it out and see.”
o “Yes, I can see utilizing this tool within a couple of our different committees to evaluate our organization’s user-friendliness.”

could be better … seemed over-complicated.”
“Answer categories could be broader, not just yes / no .”
