According to a recent Wall Street Journal headline...
“Teams have become commonplace in U.S. Companies.”
Of course, that is common knowledge to readers of this blog.
It is also descriptive of a problem that I am trying to solve this week.
As I've noted before, most performance appraisal techniques are formulated with individuals in mind—they measure and rate the performance of the individual employee. Therefore, with the number of teams increasing in the organizations, it becomes difficult to measure and appraise the performance of the team.
The problem is in defining how to separate the performance of the team from the performance of the employees.
One solution being adopted by many companies involves measuring both individual and team performance. Sometimes, team based objectives are also included in the individual performance plans.
From a software development perspective, I am pondering how this can be applied to a Scrum team.
I would love to hear any ideas you may have.
