Agile - Improving performance (IMP) - Process management (PCM), Managing performance and measurement (MPM) & Process asset development (PAD)

Article: Process improvement, The Agile Way! by Ben Linders.


https://www.methodsandtools.com/

Business needs for process improvement projects are changing. Organisations expect faster results from their investments; they want their improvement projects to adapt to and follow changing business needs and be more engrained with the organizational way of working. The agile way of working, used more and more in software development, contains several mechanism that support these business needs. So the question is: Could a process improvement project be performed in an agile way and what would be the benefits?

In this paper I start by looking back to my first software development project. I managed that project in a way that would now be called agile, to be able to meet the needs of my customer and of the organization. Next I'll give a brief description of process improvement, and of agile; just the basics needed to understand how they can be melted into an agile process improvement approach. Then I'll go into the reasons to do it process improvement in an agile way, and the benefits that can be expected from it. I will discuss a distributed process improvement project that has been managed in an agile way, to share the learnings and benefits. Finally I'll describe some "golden rules" that help to improve agile working along the way, and to become even more effective in it.

Article:  6 Steps to Improve Your Organization's Performance by Rosanna Nadeau.

https://www.business.com/
 

Grow your company from within.

  • When searching for ways to improve your organization, in many situations, the best place to start is from within.
  • When executed properly, improvements within your company can be beneficial for driving performance and encouraging employee progress.
  • Be engaging, learn the metrics, utilize training methods and place a focus on the business; all of these are simple ways to improve your organization.

Organizational improvements are an ongoing process, and each organization has its own specific needs; however, there are common improvements that are necessary for many organizations on an ongoing basis, including:

  • Strategy and mission: Changes in strategy and mission are often difficult to map out, but, as a business owner, you need to continually monitor how well – or if – your organization is meeting your mission, and you need to be prepared to change strategies if needed.
     
  • Organizational structure: This concerns the roles, objectives, and responsibilities of individuals, departments, and teams. Structures change, some are relatively minor, while some such as mergers are considered extreme and intense.
     
  • People: Organizational improvements in regards to personnel consist of turnover, hiring, training and other changes that will be beneficial for the organization.
     
  • Knowledge: Changes/improvements to the knowledge of an organization is critical for process, progress and initiative.

Technology - Improving performance (IMP) - Process management (PCM), Managing performance and measurement (MPM) & Process asset development (PAD)
Article:  HOW TECHNOLOGY IS TRANSFORMING PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT by George Kettner.


https://www.govloop.com/

Formal performance management programs have been around since the Industrial Revolution. In those days, the manager of a manufacturing plant would set a quota and give his subordinates annual goals. Those subordinates will give goals to their subordinates and those goals will trickle down as annual quotas for frontline employees. Work has changed substantially since that era, but annual performance reviews are largely the same.

Today, technology is knocking down the old methods to make room for an updated and more effective method to improve employee performance. Unfortunately, many government agencies are lagging behind. Their current systems are often paper-and-pencil based and don’t always focus on improving employee skill sets, achieving the agency’s mission or developing future leaders.

To meet the demands of the ever-changing performance management landscape in government, agencies must stay up-to-date with cutting-edge best practices and solutions. If you’re still completing employee performance reviews with a pencil, here’s a jumping-off point to get you caught up.
The Power of Tech in Performance Management
Using an advanced performance management system, employee and agency goals have a better chance of success; best practices can be implemented successfully; and they allow the entire process to be managed more efficiently.
