Agile per­for­mance man­age­ment is an approach to man­ag­ing employ­ee per­for­mance and devel­op­ment through­out the year as opposed to on an annu­al or bi-annu­al basis. It is col­lab­o­ra­tive, involv­ing reg­u­lar con­ver­sa­tions and con­tin­u­ous feed­back. Agile per­for­mance man­age­ment isn’t sole­ly focused on the des­ti­na­tion (i.e. an annu­al per­for­mance out­come or rat­ing) — it is more about the process of get­ting there, which involves reg­u­lar­ly read­dress­ing objec­tives and bar­ri­ers to effec­tive per­for­mance
