My RL expressed that my utilization is going to become more important than my snapshots. Thoughts?

That is a false statement. Particularly with P5M, your contribution to digitization (as expressed thru snapshots) will weigh quite heavily. Is your RL a director? If so, go talk to a partner and get your RL set straight

Yea util is important but not more so than snapshots

Being in your utilization band is pretty important. Don’t need to be on the high end of the band, but gotta hit the minimum

You know snapshots aren’t important right? Only differentiators? A snapshot itself is only looked at to make sure you’re progressing but aren’t considered during round table otherwise

What are you considering a ‘bad snapshot’ to be? One where you aren’t at level or higher? If you’re new to the role, you probably won’t be at level, therefore not a bad snapshot. If it’s your 2nd or 3rd year and you’re not at level, then it becomes a conversation because you aren’t showing progress, which is what I originally said - they’re used to check your progress
