Pick the date you want review input to open. The planner works backwards using the stage lengths in the Revolut People docs and tells you the latest date to start set-up, when to invite employees and whether your date is realistic. It runs in your browser. If you want the full dated rollout pack, you can unlock it with your work email.
How the planner works it out
A review cycle in Revolut People runs in stages. These are the default stage lengths in the docs; you can change them when you set up the cycle, and cycles run automatically by default or manually (source).
| Stage | Default length |
|---|---|
| Goal setting: departments | 1 month |
| Goal setting: teams | 1 month |
| Review input | 2 weeks |
| Calibration | 1–2 weeks |
| Publish to managers | 1 day |
| Publish to employees | 1 day |
Before the cycle starts, the planner adds your buffer and then the set-up itself. The docs say most companies are up and running within about two weeks, depending on team availability, existing policies and the number of modules (source). Set-up includes a test cycle, which the implementation guide uses to check everything works before your first live cycle (source).
The verdict uses two rules of thumb of this planner, not Revolut People guidance: under two weeks to spare is “tight”, and so are two or more readiness gaps.
What is in the rollout pack
- A dated timeline from today to results day, with an owner for each step.
- Roles: Project Lead, IT contact and HR lead, and the access each needs.
- The Phase 1–3 set-up checklist from the Revolut People admin rollout toolkit, with HR and Recruitment steps if you picked those modules (source).
- Test-cycle prerequisites, the calibration method that fits your headcount (source) and a communications plan with dates (source).
Choosing tools first? Check them with the stack-fit checker. Running the rollout? Use the rollout checklist.

FAQ
How long does Revolut People take to set up?
The docs say most companies are up and running within about two weeks. It depends on team availability, your existing policies and how many modules you roll out. Source.
Who do I need on my side?
A Project Lead (your internal champion) and someone from IT for SSO and integrations. Both need System Admin rights. Source.
Do I have to run a test cycle?
The implementation guide includes one, to make sure everything works before your first live cycle. It checks that everyone has a role, a line manager and a competency matrix before the real cycle. Generating scorecards freezes the data, so fix records first. Source.
Can I change the stage lengths?
Yes. The planner uses the default lengths, and you set your own timeline when you configure the cycle. Source.
What happens to my answers?
The planner runs in your browser. Only if you unlock the rollout pack are your inputs sent, together with your work email, so the pack can be built.
