Key facts


"Performance Management" is the worst way to build and manage high performing teams

01

Software teams spend 8 hours per developer per week evaluating productivity and engagement.

Between 6-month performance reviews, promotion documents, performance improvement plans, sprint reviews, one-on-ones, surveys, and feedback requests, teams are under siege. As teams grow, the reporting burden grows exponentially.
02

Agile metrics are meaningless

Developers don't trust engineering leadership that uses story points, DORA metrics, number of commits, or lines of code to identify top performers. They know that these metrics don't correlate with effort or business value.
03

Developers love justice

When developers work hard, they want to be rewarded and they don't want to work with slackers. Traditional performance reviews are plagued by recency bias, favoritism, mis-communication, and cultural mis-understandings. Developers are the worst at promoting their own work and consequently will leave an organization before they are rightfully promoted.
