Can I give feedback to someone else's direct?

I second the above reccomendation.

Remember that Manager Tools "Feedback" is for managers, not skips, not other people's directs, not peers.

MTFeedback is a very specific Technique tool.  It must first be introduced as a managerial change.  And it is introduced in a very specific way and insituted over time according to MT guidance. 

Your peer's skip won't recognize the FeedBack model.  They won't know what you are doing and what to do.

The Peer Feedback Technique is the way to go  

OR if you don't have a good relationship with that person 

just go to your Peer and do the Peer Feedback model.

"Hey, Joe, -- when Margret doesn't get that report to my team on time, it slows down my guy Sean.  Just wanted to let you know, thanks"

Let your Peer be the manager.  That's his job.

Good Luck

Have you listened to our cast on Project Manager Feedback? While this person isn’t your direct, she does have deliverables to you. The PM Feedback cast is very helpful in your situation. It answers the questions about how to talk about performance to project staff and how do you get staff to do things when you don't manage them. I’ve included the link below.

I hope this helps!
