Assembling a Performance Management Plan
Apress eBooks · 2006
Formal performance management and tracking are currently undefined arts. I envision the formal definition of performance management standards and the appearance of performance management infrastructure management software emerging over the next couple of years. In the meantime, let this chapter serve as my definition of the artifacts and processes that must exist, regardless of the names and conventions that they eventually use. I realized the performance management processes explained in this chapter, and then took them to the street, so to speak—I introduced many of these performance management processes into Fortune 500 companies and refined them into what is presented in this chapter. The next steps moving forward for the industry will be to establish a standards committee for performance management and formalize its artifacts. But rather than wait years for the standards committee, I want to include this information here, so you and your organization can start benefiting from it today!
