Agile Team Appraisal Process

[Ashutosh RaiParticipant]

·Current Appraisal Process

o Yearly Goal

o Yearly KRA

o Yearly Discussion Of KRA

o Yearly Achievement of Goal Planned a year back

· Are we really Agile?

· Is this the expectation from the Agile team/s?

· How can we make appraisal process more Agile?

o Use velocity to measure individual performance?

§ No why?

o Produce a task matrix for every individual?

§ No Why?

o Give ratings to teams instead of individuals?

§ No Why?

o Handle it with Agile

§ Yes How?

· Provide team member the vision and mission of the company

· Create an appraisal backlog for the individual with acceptance criteria of the goal (keeping Vision and mission of the company in mind)

o (Sample) As an individual I will try to help my team with automation KT so that every individual in the team can start writing automation tests

o Acceptance criteria

§ KT session to the team

§ Working with the team to help them finishing test spikes

§ Helping team to understand advantage of automation

· Have a mentor assigned to every individual and he will be the PO for the Backlog

o As a mentor one need to help team member with all requirements

· Mentor will have regular discussions with the team member to review and refine the backlog as required

o This will help achieve smaller goals instead of a yearly of a quarterly goal, one can easily measure it and help to improve.

· Keep a monthly Sprint to achieve near term goal and have it reviewed

o Have a review cycle monthly and regular session on sprint goal achievement.

· Assign a value to each of the goal keeping it complexity in mind

o Provide a story point estimation with the team member for each of the goal

· If the team member is not able to achieve a 5 pointer value goal in a sprint then do not give 8 pointer value goal in next sprint

· Do not try to keep the same value for a similar goal for each individual (Discuss and decide)

o Each team have a different velocity same way each individual is different.

· Appraisal burn down/Up

o Planned Vs Achieved
