Summary

It‘s a system – not an one-time incident

First, think about results – not about the tool

Be clear about who the customer is

Consider internal conditions – organization, supervision and work

Even under hierarchical conditions performance appraisal does did not fully work

In an agile environment traditional performance appraisal does not work

Agility requires focused, social, open approaches, driven by employees and customers
