Introduction

A brag sheet is an important tool for software engineers to track achievements and accomplishments throughout the year. With performance review cycles approaching, a comprehensive brag sheet enables you to effectively communicate your contributions and skills to management.

The goal of maintaining an engineer brag sheet is to document all of your notable projects, technical contributions, and leadership examples. This provides clear evidence of your capabilities and year-over-year growth when meeting with leadership.

Regularly updating your brag sheet during the year offers many benefits:

• Captures key achievements while details are fresh
• Allows identifying gaps to fill before review time
• Saves time by eliminating scramble to collect accomplishments
• Boosts confidence by highlighting your full capabilities
• Provides customizable content to tailor for reviews
