How to Create a Brag Document in ClickUp

Using ClickUp to build and maintain a brag document is an effective way to track your wins, prepare for performance reviews, and clearly show your impact at work.

This how-to guide is based on the workflow and ideas from the original brag document guide on the ClickUp blog and turns them into a practical, repeatable process you can follow.

Whether you are an individual contributor or a manager, a structured brag document helps you stay ready for promotions, raises, and new opportunities.

What Is a Brag Document in ClickUp?

A brag document is a living record of your achievements, responsibilities, and growth over time.

When you manage it in ClickUp, it becomes a central place where you can quickly pull examples for:

• Performance reviews
• Promotion packets
• Compensation discussions
• Job applications and interviews

The original ClickUp brag document guide emphasizes capturing small and big wins continuously, instead of trying to remember everything at review time.

Why Use ClickUp for Your Brag Document?

Managing your brag document inside ClickUp gives you structure and automation that a static document cannot provide.

Key advantages include:

• Centralized tracking of tasks, projects, and outcomes
• Easy to filter by date, project, or goal
• Recurring reminders so you add wins regularly
• Shareable views for managers and mentors

Because ClickUp is already where work happens, it is simple to connect your brag entries to real tasks, comments, and documents.

Step 1: Plan Your ClickUp Brag Document Structure

Before creating anything, decide how you want your brag information organized in ClickUp.

Use these common sections from the source article as a foundation:

• Responsibilities: What you own day to day
• Achievements: Clear, measurable wins
• Skills & Growth: Courses, stretch projects, feedback
• Impact Stories: Short narratives about meaningful results

You can represent each section as a list, view, or field inside ClickUp depending on your preference.

Step 2: Set Up a Space or Folder in ClickUp

Next, create a dedicated home for your brag document inside ClickUp so it does not get lost in regular project work.

1. Create a new Space or Folder named something like “Career Growth” or “Brag Document”.

2. Add a List for each category you planned, such as “Achievements” or “Responsibilities”.

3. Set permissions so only you (and optionally your manager) can access this area of ClickUp.

This keeps your brag content private while still taking advantage of the platform’s powerful organization options.

Step 3: Build a Brag Task Template in ClickUp

To make adding new brag entries fast and consistent, create a reusable task template in ClickUp.

1. In your “Achievements” list, create a new task named “Brag Entry Template”.

2. Add custom fields to capture:

   • Date of achievement
   • Category (project, leadership, learning, etc.)
   • Impact metric (revenue, time saved, satisfaction, etc.)
   • Stakeholders involved

3. In the task description, add a simple structure inspired by the blog article:

   • Context: What problem or goal you faced
   • Actions: What you did specifically
   • Results: Numbers or concrete outcomes
   • Proof: Links to tasks, dashboards, or feedback inside ClickUp

4. Save this as a task template so you can duplicate it quickly whenever you log a new win in ClickUp.

Step 4: Log Achievements in ClickUp Every Week

The source article stresses consistency: a brag document only works when you update it regularly.

Use ClickUp to build that habit.

1. Create a recurring task called “Update brag document” that repeats weekly.

2. Each week, duplicate your brag entry template and fill it out for any recent wins.

3. Attach or link relevant ClickUp tasks, comments, or dashboards so you have evidence ready later.

Examples of weekly entries include:

• Resolved a critical bug ahead of schedule
• Improved a process and reduced cycle time
• Led a cross-team meeting that unblocked a project
• Received positive feedback from a stakeholder

Step 5: Create ClickUp Views for Easy Review Prep

When performance review season arrives, you do not want to dig through dozens of tasks.

Use ClickUp views and filters to surface the right brag entries quickly.

1. Add a Table View of your achievements list and group by quarter or month.

2. Use filters to show only entries with specific impact metrics, such as revenue or adoption.

3. Create a Favorites view for your strongest stories to share with your manager.

This approach mirrors the source article’s guidance on turning raw notes into polished results and stories that are easy to present.

Step 6: Turn Your ClickUp Brag Notes into a One-Pager

The blog article recommends summarizing your brag document into a concise artifact for conversations with leadership.

You can do this directly in ClickUp using a Doc.

1. Create a new Doc within your brag Space or Folder.

2. Use headings such as “Top Achievements”, “Expanded Responsibilities”, and “Growth Areas”.

3. Scan your brag tasks in ClickUp and pull out the most important items for each section.

4. Link directly from the Doc to the underlying tasks and evidence in ClickUp.

This one-pager becomes your go-to resource for review meetings, promotion packets, and applications.

Step 7: Share and Discuss Your ClickUp Brag Document

A brag document is not just for you; it is a collaboration tool for career growth.

Here is how to use ClickUp to share it effectively:

• Give your manager view or comment access to your brag Space or Folder.
• Share the polished Doc ahead of your review meeting.
• Ask mentors to review specific tasks or entries in ClickUp and provide feedback using comments.

By turning your achievements into structured, visible information, you make it easier for others to advocate for you.

Maintain and Improve Your ClickUp Brag Workflow

As you use this system over time, refine it to match your role and goals.

• Adjust custom fields as your responsibilities change.
• Add new categories for leadership, mentorship, or cross-functional work.
• Create dashboards in ClickUp that roll up key metrics from your brag entries.
