About This Constellation ShortList™

Performance management platforms tools are digital solutions that help apply the popular goal-setting framework for defining and tracking objectives as well as their outcomes. Performance management is one of the five key pillars of talent management (next to talent acquisition, onboarding, learning and success management). Performance management is the most critical of the five, as without effective performance management enterprises do not know who their high potentials.

Effective performance management platforms will offer an enterprise options on how to deploy performance management. From sophisticated roll up / roll down objectives and performance review all the way to simple daily / weekly check-ins. The collection of continuous performance and feedback is a key capability of a modern performance management offering as well.
