Research On Optimization Of Employee Performance Appraisal In Distributed Software Development Project Of Company

Software development enterprises usually focus on projects to achieve strategic goals.For B company,the success or failure of software development projects is directly related to the fate and future of the company.Employees are one of the most important resources for software enterprises,playing a crucial role in the success or failure of projects.Scientific employee performance evaluation is one of the effective means to improve employee performance and ensure the successful implementation of company strategies,as well as an important guarantee for sustainable development of enterprises.However,the characteristics of B company’s business model,corporate culture,and organizational structure indicate that traditional performance management concepts based on control and employee performance management tools based on key performance indicators(KPIs)may not be applicable to performance evaluation of employees in distributed software development projects.This paper will focus on the software development teams in the provincial branches of B company and introduce the OKR management method.Based on theoretical foundations and literature review,the paper will conduct a satisfaction survey and questionnaire survey on B company employees’ performance evaluation.The questionnaire data analysis revealed that the existing performance evaluation system of B company has the following problems: unfavorable performance evaluation environment,lack of communication and coaching,lack of reasonable goals,untimely feedback,emphasis on salary incentives,and inconsistent performance cycle with project cycle.Based on the findings,the paper analyzed the reasons further and summarized that the inappropriate use of performance management tools,the disconnection between performance management and B company’s strategic goals,the weak matrix project organization,and the mismatch between the existing performance evaluation methods and dimensions and B company’s development needs are the main reasons.The six-step performance management process is discussed to optimize B company’s existing performance management system by introducing the OKR performance management tool.Taking the remote intelligent warehouse system development project group as a pilot,the comparison before and after optimization showed that the optimized performance evaluation plan has significant advantages in improving project performance,improving team atmosphere,and enhancing employee self-drive.At the same time,to ensure the success of the optimized employee performance evaluation,relevant optimization measures are implemented from five aspects,including strengthening cultural construction,focusing on the entire process of employee performance evaluation,advocating a flexible-oriented employee performance evaluation system,clarifying job responsibilities,and adopting an agile development model for innovative software development projects.The optimized employee performance evaluation plan allows employees to have a clearer understanding of their responsibilities and goals,and contribute actively to B company’s ambitious strategic goals.At the same time,the successful application of the OKR management method can provide valuable references and inspirations for other information technology enterprises,promoting the development of the industry.
