Chart how your role shifts from “hands-on contributor” to “hands-off multiplier.” At first, you’ll feel fraudulent. Then you’ll notice tiny indirect wins: an engineer volunteers an idea in retro, a tough project actually closes, or nobody cries in standup. These are your new deliverables. They won’t show up in Git history, but they’re the real job.

When you stop shipping code, you start questioning your worth. If you can’t point at a pull request and say “I did that,” it feels like you’re stealing a salary. Track your evolving role and impact beyond output.

This tool is a combined timeline + journal that tracks both week-to-week invisible wins (micro) and the broader shift from contributor to multiplier (macro).

How to use it

• Weekly: New > Micro Win Template
  • Note down concrete examples of when your actions indirectly led to progress, through small indirect effects.
  • Track shifts: from “I fixed a bug”, to “I coached Alice to fix a bug faster” then “Alice taught Bob to fix it without me.”
  • Capture 2-3 invisible moments from this week
    • Shielded the team from a half-baked exec idea.
    • Helped Bob and Alice stop hating each other.
    • Noticed morale quietly rising after moving meetings off Friday afternoons.
• Monthly: New > Macro Review Template
  • Zoom out and update your map to spot role evolution over time.

Micro/Macro Log

Your visual timeline or bullet log showing that your value has moved from output to outcomes, that covers both tactical sanity (“I did do something this week/month/quarter”) and strategic growth (“I’ve moved from fixing to enabling”). Proof you’re not just a professional calendar invite generator.
