# Programs

> Structured review and survey cycles with automated tracking

# Programs

Programs in Topicflow orchestrate structured review and survey cycles across the organization. They automate scheduling, track completion, and ensure consistent processes.

## What programs are

A program is a structured cycle that coordinates:

* Performance reviews
* Survey campaigns
* Deadlines and reminders
* Participant selection
* Completion tracking

Programs turn one-time activities into repeatable, scalable processes.

## Types of programs

**Review programs:**

* Annual performance reviews
* Semi-annual check-ins
* Quarterly reviews
* Probation reviews

**Survey programs:**

* Quarterly engagement surveys
* Monthly pulse checks
* Manager effectiveness surveys
* Post-cycle feedback surveys

## Why programs matter

**Consistency:**
Programs ensure reviews and surveys happen on schedule.

**Automation:**
Deadlines, reminders, and participant selection are automated.

**Visibility:**
HR and leadership can track completion across the organization.

**Scalability:**
Programs work for 10 people or 1,000 people.
