3. It's important to lock in goals at the
beginning of the year and hold
people accountable for them.
The best thing to do with low
performers is to show them the
door.
Performance management happens at
the beginning (Goal) of the year and at
the end of the year (Review)
Performance management is primarily
an administrative task
Performance management works best
when it focuses solely on the
individual
Performance management is easy.
Performance is the sole responsibility
of the management.
My colleague’s response does not
impact my appraisal
Time for all negative feedbacks which
will impact salary hike.

with the feedback.

Alan Altas
1. Give all of the members of an Agile team the same performance goals.
2. Assign individual goals for individual development.
3. Make sure individual goals are aligned with team goals.
4. Frequent 360 degree performance feedback is better than many alternatives.
5. Value highly the personal traits, characteristics, and behaviours of good team members.
W. Edwards Deming
Immeasurable damage is created by ranking systems, merit raises, and incentive pay. Deming believed that
every business is a system, and the performance of individuals is largely the result of the way the system
operates. In his view, the system causes 80 % of the problems in a business, and the system is management’s
responsibility

10. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

11. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through
early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of
weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the
shorter timescale.
Build projects around motivated individuals.Give them
the environment and support they need, and trust
them to get the job done
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and
good design enhances agility.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for the
customer's competitive advantage
Business people and developers must work together
daily throughout the project.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying
information to and within a development team is face-
to-face conversation.
Agile processes promote sustainable development.The
sponsors, developers, and users should be able to
maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work
not done--is essential.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to
become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its
behaviour accordingly.
