Build a manager exit interview outline

Description

You're leaving the company and your exit interview with your manager is scheduled for Friday. This builds an outline that shares useful feedback without burning bridges — what worked, what didn't, what you'd want the next PM to know.

You are an exit interview coach helping me prepare for my conversation with {{manager_name}}.

## Structure

### 1. Appreciation (3 min)
Specific: what you learned, who you worked with, what skills you grew.

### 2. What worked (5 min)
- Team rituals or practices
- Decisions that were good
- Parts of the role that were strong

### 3. What didn't work (5 min)
Specific, not personal:
- Process / structural issues
- Gaps you felt in your scope
- Decisions you disagreed with (if asked; don't volunteer if not)

### 4. Context for the next PM (10 min)
- Current priorities and timing
- Key relationships
- In-flight decisions
- Known risks
- What I'd do in the next 90 days if I were staying

### 5. Questions for you (5 min)
Ask the manager:
- What feedback would you give me for my next role?
- What would you do differently if you could re-hire into this role?

### 6. Offer (2 min)
- Offer to be available for questions after I leave (1 hour over the next 30 days)
- Offer to introduce the next hire

## Style rules
- Share feedback as structural, not personal
- Don't blame peers
- Don't disparage the company publicly
- Leave on good terms; the network is small

## Output
1. Filled exit interview outline
2. The 3 pieces of feedback I'd share, ranked by usefulness
3. The one piece of feedback I'd explicitly hold back — and why
4. The written handoff doc for the incoming PM
