Redefining performance metrics from annual goals to agile goals

AHMEDABAD, India - March 15, 2021 - PRLog -- Back in the days of school and college, students progress was tracked with the help of annual report cards and exams. Once they step outside the world of education and enter that of a professional corporate setup, they are still evaluated and scored. The truth is that no matter what phase of life you enter, you are always analyzed and scored.

In a professional work environment, employees are mostly evaluated on an annual or biannual basis, but the past year that was overridden with the fear of the pandemic has called for a much-needed change in terms of performance management. So, when one comes across terms such as agile goal setting and agile team performance evaluation, one often asks the question "what is agile performance management?".

The shift to agile performance: As an organization, if you have decided to switch to agile goal settings, here is what you will have to do. Firstly, you will have to inform the entire team about the switch and tell them how agile performance reviews will be different from the annual ones. It is understandable that since it is a new process, you will also have to train your management team on how to go about agile team performance evaluation.  In short, you need to have the entire team on the same page so that they understand how short term goal settings and agile performance mapping will benefit them in the long run.

Focusing on the 'why' & 'how': Rather than concentrating on just the end results, this mapping system will allow you to answer the more critical questions of why and how. More than often it happens that the senior management team is told to work towards achieving certain results, and this often hampers the actual learning and growth of employees. In the agile system of mapping progress, more attention is given to short term results and understanding why they are important and how they can be introduced.

Continuous feedback culture should be promoted: Most organizations and teams believe that performance management needs to take place only at the time of annual appraisals. This often stunts the growth of the team members which results in the arrested growth of the organization as well. Redefining performance from annual to agile goals means steady feedback and training that help keep the entire team on the same page. This also leads to more motivated team members who will work towards achieving the corporate goals.
