Performance Self Review
Jul 23 2020
Self review time, or the most depressing time of the year.
Competencies
Target is from 1 to 5 and is a company-wide scale, i.e. higher technical/managerial levels have higher targets on the same scale). Once you know the target the Performance is 1 to 5 where 3 is meeting your target and 2 is needs improvement. I'll omit the really long explanations as that would reveal too much I think.

- Core.Change Agility (Target = 3-Skilled) - Driving and responding to change
- Needs improvement - I feel that there has been a lot of changes recently, a lot of things to pick up and it's been a challenge. I think I learn new tech slower than everyone else on the team.
- Core.Collaboration (Target = 3-Skilled) - Leveraging the combined strength of my company
- Needs improvement - I don't know if we get an opportunity to collaborate across organizations. I do work with cpq team and other teams that need help with sales cloud - cpq solution, whether formally or ad hoc emails and slack.
- Core.Communicating for Impact (Target = 3-Skilled) - Communicating openly and effectively to influence others
- Needs improvement - I'm not the kind of person who is going to change stakeholder perceptions without good reason and I haven't had good reasons. So maybe it's more like I haven't had to use this skill, which is a good thing in its way indicating we're all moving toward the same target.
- Core.Competitive Edge (Target = 3-Skilled) - Driving competitiveness and innovation
- Needs improvement - I don't think I help drive future practices or processes.
- Core.Inspirational Leadership (Target = 2-Intermediate) - Inspiring others through your example
- Needs improvement - I don't think I interact with my team enough to lead anything.
- Core.Mastering Complexity (Target = 3-Skilled) - Making timely business decisions with sound judgment
- Successfully meets expectations - I think I'm fairly good at giving people how-to knowledge, giving advice and letting them make future decisions.
- Core.Performance Drive & Execution (Target = 2-Intermediate) - Leading by example to deliver business results
- Needs improvement - It can be hard to tell how others are doing, and even more so with everyone working from home. For the most part I'm too busy trying to get my tasks done to pay attention to the team. I help people when they ask but I'm not really one to give unasked for advice.
- Functional.Development.Coding and Unit Testing (Target = 4-Advanced) - Constructs software components as described in the Technical Design documents and translates specified design into implementation language resulting in usable application or application component that satisfies the business requirements.
- Successfully meets expectations - If the target is 4 maybe I meet it. I would say there are a lot of coding standards and processes and I try to follow them all even if I'm always behind schedule.
- Functional.Development.Functional Design(Target = 3-Skilled) - Transforms software requirements into a description of how these requirements are to be implemented, including the features, flows, data model, and complete solution components. Provides the detailed functional design of the solution, to be used as input to technical design process.
- Successfully meets expectations - Example: (url to one of my design doc wiki pages)
- Functional.Development.Process and Standards Management (Target = 2-Intermediate) - Manages procedures and standards to facilitate the software development lifecycle and deliverables.
- Successfully meets expectations - My big contribution is being data model poc mostly for opportunity and sometimes leads. Comes up about once a month and can take a while if we do it wrong but then next time I know to avoid that trap.
- Functional.Development.Technical Design (Target = 4-Advanced) - Transforms functional requirements into a technical description of how these requirements are to be implemented. Provides the detailed technical design of the solution, to be used as input to coding and unit testing process.
- Needs improvement - Haven't had the chance to do something across LOBs and I don't think I have the customer understanding to do so.
Overall Summary
- Employee Rating: Needs improvement
- Employee Comments: Only considering competencies... Mind you I've always thought the competency targets for my level are really high so that I come up short year after year is not surprising.
