Hey @ranaq 1. What are some of the parameters that we can use to evaluate performance of Tech and Product Teams? For the purpose of Appraisals, Feedback and Performance Reviews 2. How do we quantify the metrics of Tech and Product Teams for the same purpose mentioned above ?

This is a brilliant question Shantanu. I have seen this done in various ways. Not commenting on which is an ideal way, that depends on your org context. Tech (for performance): 1. Features delivered (Epics & Stories on Jira and Bugs for QC teams) - this measures volumes of output 2. Quality of features delivered - this is very nuanced as it takes into account the quality of the code. If you write code which needs multiple QCs, then ideally, you are not doing a good job! [this is tough to measure - have seen products who help do this] Product (for performance) 1. Did the product deliver the outcome it was supposed to? Eg, increase DAU by 5% through feature X. 2. Product feature delivery - this will discount business outcomes and just focus on delivering the product (exercise caution here as it may lead to a corba head problem situation) Blended, works well for PODs - PMs and Enginners who work together - did the Team/POD deliver the outcome? Measure against the KPI. For feedback - I have seen Great success when you get feedback immediately after you launch a feature. Ideal to get feedback from everyone who worked to deliver this feature. Note -> in this case, get feedback on the "how they did what they did", ie, competencies exhibited in their work.

Thanks so much Ranaq 🙂
