Technical Performance

This section focuses on the ‘hard’ skills of the project team. That is, how well key project management procedures are delivered.
 

Scope Management

Please rate the team's ability to deliver & manage the scope of the project and product. Justify your rating with comments that describe instances or aspects of scope performance. Refer to the Scope Management Plan to help you assess performance.

Quality Management

Rate how well the team is delivering and managing quality. Refer to the Quality Management Plan and Quality Audits.
 

Schedule Management

Assess how well the team is delivering and managing the project schedule. Refer to the Schedule Management Plan, Work Breakdown Structures, and Project plans.
 

Cost Management

Assess how well the team is monitoring and controlling project costs. Refer to the Cost Management Plan, cost estimates and budget tracking spreadsheets.
 

Teamwork

This section focuses on how well the team works together. Do people feel like they are listened to and supported? Is work shared and contributions valued? Is there much conflict, and how well is it handled?
 

Communications

Does everyone know what they need to do and when? Are the team clear on who does what and whom to speak to about issues? How does the team keep in touch, and how well is it working?
 

Working Together

How well does the team work together? Do the individual members feel part of the team? Refer to the Team Charter to complete this section.
 

Conflict Handling

Do the team get on? When there is conflict, how is it handled? Team members will have some disagreements, which is ok; in high-performing teams, the conflict will be quickly resolved so everyone can move on
 

Decision Making

How well are decisions made? Does everyone know whom to go to for decisions? Does everyone understand the Project Tolerances, and is there a straightforward escalation process? Does this work smoothly when decisions must be made at a senior level?
 

Team Morale

How is everyone? Are team members generally positive about the team and the project? Do any changes need to be made to improve morale, e.g., the Project Charter or working conditions?
 

Areas for Development and Action

Note any areas that need improvement along with clear actions, action owners, and a due date.
