The document discusses performance appraisals, noting that traditionally they are systems led by HR and managers, focus on tools over results, and aim to retain employees, motivate them, and identify potential. However, in more agile work environments with flexible processes and self-managed teams, traditional performance appraisals do not work well. The document advocates for more focused, social, open and employee-driven approaches to performance feedback in agile organizations.
