I can share some of my Annual Planning experience at Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon is pretty diverse, so the details vary a lot depending on the org you are in. For example, many processes are very different between Retail, AWS, and Devices. #Amazon #AnnualPlanning #YMMV
It is standard practice to do an Operational Plan (OP) every year in the 2nd half. This usually broken up into OP1 around Aug/Sep and OP2 around Nov/Dec. OP doc is a standard Amazon 6 pager created by each team in word. Team in this case is probably 10-100 people.
It will summarize the team’s charter, past initiatives and metrics, and propose future initiatives. This is also where you ask for headcount for the following year, by proposing unfunded initiatives along with desired headcount.
