Template
For employees, managers, career changers, and transitioning service members who want a copyable structure for recording accomplishments.
A good brag document template gives every accomplishment the same useful shape: what happened, what you did, how big it was, what changed, and where you might reuse it. The structure matters because vague notes are hard to turn into strong career documents later.
Illustrative — the copyable fields.
Example lab
Use the same fields for small wins and major projects so your evidence stays searchable and reusable.
Inventory process update.
Rebuilt the weekly cycle-count checklist
ActionName what you did, not the topic.
Illustrative — sample details for teaching, not a real record.
Feedback
Manager said the new process helped.
Feedback: regional manager said the checklist made discrepancies easier to explain during the monthly operations review.
Feedback is evidence when it is tied to a specific change and source.
Reuse target
Maybe use for resume someday.
Reuse target: operations resume bullet, annual review process-improvement section, STAR answer about fixing a recurring problem.
Naming the reuse target helps you find the entry when that moment arrives.

The field guide
Use these fields for each entry: date, project or situation, problem, action, scope, result, metric or evidence, feedback, skills shown, and reuse target. You do not need every field every time, but the structure prompts you to capture details that make the entry useful later.
Start with a rough weekly note, then add only the details you know. If you do not have a metric yet, capture scope and observable change. Later, when the project closes or review data arrives, update the entry instead of trying to reconstruct the story from memory.
The template gives structure; Narrative Pro adds grading, search, and reuse. Once an entry is saved, the 0-10 rubric can show whether it needs a clearer action, stronger scope, better metric, or cleaner outcome before you use it in a final document.
Keep in mind
Narrative Pro
Save structured accomplishment entries in Narrative Pro so they can be scored, tagged, and reused when you need them.
Build your vaultFAQ
At minimum, include situation, action, scope, result, metric or evidence, skills shown, and reuse target. Optional fields like feedback and source links make entries stronger.
Yes. The private template should hold more detail than either final document. You can then condense the same evidence into a resume bullet or expand it into a review paragraph.
No. Capture rough entries quickly, then polish the ones most likely to support a review, promotion, job application, interview, or award nomination.
