## **Expectations of the program**

- **Commitment and Active Engagement:** Both mentee and mentor are expected to commit to regular communication during the 3-month mentorship period. Be prepared for meetings, actively seeking guidance, and following through on agreed-upon plans.
- **Openness to Learning and Feedback:** Come into the program with an open mindset, ready to learn and receive constructive feedback.
- **Openness to Learning and Feedback:** Come into the program with an open mindset, ready to learn and receive constructive feedback.
- **Respect for Time and Boundaries:** Participants should respect each other's time commitments and establish clear boundaries for communication and availability. Mentees should understand that mentors have other responsibilities and may not be available 24/7. Encourage participants to communicate their availability and preferences upfront, ensuring that both mentors and mentees are respectful of each other's time constraints.
- **Goal-Setting and Accountability:** Goals are critical for the success of a mentoring partnership. While most aspects of a mentor-mentee relationship don’t have strict rules or conditions, if we made one recommendation, it would be this: Set at least one clear goal that you can both work to achieve through your partnership.We recommend using [SMART goals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria) to formulate the specifics of the goal. You can set more than one goal, but since you’ll want to keep track of them, don’t set too many!
- **Measuring Success:** To help both the mentor and mentee track and highlight the outcomes of the program we request that the mentor and mentee both submit feedback via [Lattice](https://sourcegraph.latticehq.com/) at the 1 and 3 month milestones. Mentorship Progress reviews will allow both the mentee and mentor to reflect and share feedback. Not only will this provide an opportunity to track progress on goals, but it’s a great way to source a few highlights that can easily be added into relevant [Impact Reviews](../../departments/people-talent/people-ops/process/teammate-sentiment/impact-reviews/index.md)!

## Mentor/Mentee Feedback

Please share feedback directly with your Mentor via [Lattice](https://sourcegraph.latticehq.com/), by selecting the ‘Give or Request Feedback’ button on the Lattice dashboard. Be sure to select the [private or private + manager](https://handbook.sourcegraph.com/company-info-and-process/working-at-sourcegraph/teammate-development/#how-do-we-use-lattice-to-give-feedback) category, otherwise this feedback will be shared publicly in the [#thanks](https://sourcegraph.slack.com/archives/CDVGH9RDF) channel.

- A mentor-mentee relationship is not a binding contract: Neither party is forced to continue the sessions if they no longer see enough value out of continuing the sessions: If the mentor is unable to continue due to resource constraints or any other reason, they may choose to help find someone else available on [Humans of Sourcegraph](https://www.humansofsourcegraph.com) (if the mentee agrees). If the mentee is not deriving enough value from the outcomes of the sessions, they should let the mentor know.
- Sometimes mentoring is part of someone’s role (this is often true for managers and senior ICs), but don’t let mentoring become a box-ticking exercise. Both parties must be willing to invest into a mentoring partnership in order for it to succeed.
