MYLES
allows administration at Instrument to streamline performance reviews so that they can better equip employees for continual growth.
THE PROMPT
Instrument’s current performance review system does not allow administration to easily track the process or equip employees for future growth
THE PROBLEM
Administration cannot easily track, create, manage and view employee performance reviews throughout the entire process, from past reviews to current review periods.
THE SOLUTION
Create a desktop dashboard-based application where Administration can track, create, manage and view process reviews for easy contact with both employees and leaders throughout the performance review process.
OBJECTIVES
Based on the needs list provided by Instrument, I created three main objectives for the project, one for each main user group
Primary – Administration
Track process of department, team and employee reviews and assign form to complete
Secondary – Leadership
Receive meeting invite and view notations from administration before meeting with employee
Tertiary – Employee
View strengths and weaknesses from previous years and view employee pairs
