Performance Management and Measurement is a tool that can be used to know whether an organisation’s programs, services or products are leading to desired results. By doing so, we can learn how efficiently and effectively the team is allocating resources and to what end. Today Performance Management and Measurement are used more than ever before because of the demands for greater accountability and the growing expectations that organisations need to do more for less.
Performance Management has however received a lot of scrutiny on whether it actually has any value. This is because in the Agile framework, we work with HR teams and organisations o move away from rewarding individuals and individual behaviours. And instead look at team collaboration and how we can achieve objectives together with the Agile Release Train.
So realistically the best performance review and form of Performance Management that you have in SAFe, is your Iteration Review at the end of each Iteration. The Iteration Review is an Event whereby each team inspects the Increment at the end of every Iteration to determine progress and then adjust its backlog accordingly for the next iteration.This is because similar to Performance Management and Measurement, at the end of each Iteration you can see the team’s contribution towards delivering solutions to the organisation’s customers and the extent to which the team are meeting their needs.
In this, we may look at:
🚀 What are our Increments?
🚀 How are we meeting out Increment goals?
🚀 What System Demos are required?
From this we can determine whether we are on the right track and if not, what we do need to pivot towards the good stuff. By continuously exploring and learning from our customers and team members, we can ensure effective management and acceleration of performance.
Other important benefits of handling Performance Management and Measurement are:
🚀 Provides clarity.
🚀 Enhances efficiency.
🚀 Promotes job satisfaction.
🚀 Increases motivation.
🚀 Facilitates objective decision-making.
🚀 Helps with determining which areas require improvement or intervention.
