### Ask for an invitation

You need to work in Defence to join the community calls.

Using your Ministry of Defence email, send a message to: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Join%20content%20community%20calls).

Include your full name, your role and the project you’re working on.

## Ask for feedback

Community calls are a great place to ask for feedback on your service, a feature or an issue. Here are a few things to remember.

### Set the context

Without taking too long, tell the story of your service. Start with what your service does, who your users are and what they are trying to do.

### Say what kind of feedback you want

Tell people what you want to find out. For example, if there are existing patterns you can reuse or how close you are to meeting the GOV.UK Service Standard.

### Do not be defensive
You need to work in the Ministry of Defence to join community calls.

Feedback is about your service, not you. Avoid deflecting questions, it is okay to say that you are not sure. Take notes so that you do not need to respond to every point.
Using your Ministry of Defence email, send a message to: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Join%2productUCD%20community%20calls).

## How to give feedback
Include your full name, your role and the project you are working on.

You are expected to give feedback in a kind and respectful way.
## Get feedback or lead a session

### Give specific and actionable feedback
On product community calls, you can share your successes, tools and approaches. You can ask the community for ideas on dealing with product management challenges.

All feedback should be constructive. Include details of what you are thinking, what you would change and why. Avoid phrases like "I don't like it" or "That never works".
Anyone in the product community can volunteer to lead a call.

### Be kind and respectful
Check [how to ask for and give feedback](/your-community/ask-for-and-give-feedback).

You can be honest and specific without using hurtful or aggressive language. Start sentences with phrases like “Have you considered”, “You might like to try” or “Think about”.

### Keep an open mind
Everyone has different experiences and opinions. Remember that your feedback is just one perspective. Be willing to consider feedback that differs from your own.

### Be present
The team presenting their service deserves your full attention. Try not to be distracted by other work. In remote sessions, have your camera on and show that you are actively listening.
