What is Agile Performance Management?
A performance management approach that borrows principles from agile software development, using short goal cycles, iterative planning, frequent team retrospectives, and real-time peer feedback to replace or supplement traditional annual reviews.
Why it matters in hiring
Agile Performance Management comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
