Ask HN: Managers of HN, how do you track IC progress

I'm looking for tooling—systems, methodologies and software—you use to successfully manage your engineering team.

Strategies I've found helpful:

- One shared google doc per engineer - Regular, short check-ins (can be async) to track progress against team and personal goals - Nudge on opportunities for growth (budget spend, domain ownership, etc)

The wider company is encouraged to use a shared tool (https://www.small-improvements.com), so I'll need to migrate to that but I'm interested in what other tools you've found successful!
