Conducting Performance Reviews
Begin by asking the individual to evaluate his or her ownperformance.
Avoid drawing comparisons with other team members;rather, assess the individual in terms of established
standards and expectations. Focus criticism on specific behaviors rather than on the
individual personally.
Be consistent and fair in treatment of all team members.
Treat the review as one point in an ongoing process.

The Value of Retrospective Analyses
Making Retrospectives Effective: Use an independent facilitator to guide the project
team through the analysis project activities.
Include a minimum of three in-process learning gates
during the life project cycle. Designate a team member as owner for each point in
the retrospective.
Develop an easy-to-use learning repository to ensurefuture utilization of retrospective lessons.
Mandate use of retrospectives as part of the normalprocess for all projects.

Initiating the Retrospective Review
Have automatic times or points when audits willtake place. Avoid surprises.
Conduct audits carefully and with sensitivity. Audit staff must independent from the project.
Audit reports need to be used and accessible. Audits support organizational culture. Project closures should be planned and orderly. Certain core conditions must be in place to support
team and individual evaluation. Conduct individual and team evaluations separate
from pay or merit reviews.
