Example scripts
Good
In a group project, we had issues and I helped fix them. We finished it and it went well.
Better
In a group project, our deadlines slipped (S). I was responsible for delivery (T). I created a weekly plan, clarified owners, and removed blockers in standups (A). We delivered on time and got a high mark (R).
Best
In a group project, our deadlines started slipping because tasks weren’t clearly owned (S). I owned delivery for the final milestone (T). I reset the plan into three weekly checkpoints, assigned owners, and ran a 10‑minute daily check‑in focused on blockers (A). We shipped on time and cut rework in the final week because everyone knew what ‘done’ meant (R).
Common mistakes
- Spending too long on Situation and Task
- Vague Action (“I communicated”) without specifics
- No result, metric, or impact
- No reflection — what you’d repeat or improve

FAQ
Do I have to use STAR?
Not strictly. But a clear structure helps the listener follow and remember your impact.
What if I don’t have metrics?
Use concrete outcomes: time saved, fewer errors, improved satisfaction, or a clearer decision.
