Developing a Performance Plan
The role of the performance plan
Setting the scene
Development of a performance plan happens at the beginning of the performance cycle or on commencement in a
new role. It’s an opportunity to set the scene and plan by discussing and agreeing:
• outputs, projects and deliverables – what you are going to do
• conduct and behaviour – how you are going to do it
• knowledge and skills – that you need to do on the job.
This provides a solid foundation for ongoing discussion, review and assessment of performance (see below diagram
which outlines the process):
This is where you discuss
expectations and set
goals.
As a regular part of work,
discuss progress, achieve-
ments and issues.
This is where you check
and review your progress.

This is where you review
progress and assess your
performance.
We discuss work and provide feedback regularly in the course of our work, not just at scheduled times in the
performance cycle.
Focus is on the discussion
The most important part of this process is the discussion between you and your manager. The focus should be on
taking the time to have a meaningful and eective discussion.
The Template for Recording the Outcomes of Performance Discussions is where you can keep a record of the key points
and what has been agreed.
