Discussion topics:
- effect on rewards, bonuses
- effect on organization structure and reporting lines
Attended by: 10-12 people from the conference
Session Notes:
- Avoid cash bonuses based on individual or team performance as this creates unhealthy competition, people find ways to get around the "system", metrics are difficult to measure, a lot of admin effort.
- Instead pay people their fair market value and motivate them in other ways
- On reorganization, make sure that the roles and reporting lines are clear to avoid confusion and "power struggle" (ie Scrum Master VS Line Manager).
- Individual performance appraisal may still be a "necessary evil" (ie. for legal purposes). Suggestions to make this the responsibility of a line manager which should take input from team and scrum master.
- Still need further disscussions on: titles, career paths, reporting lines
