Introduction
What is Performance based planning and programming? “Performance-based planning and programming (PBPP) refers to the application of performance management principles within the planning and programming processes of transportation agencies to achieve desired performance outcomes for the multimodal transportation system (Grant, D'Ignazio, Bond, and McKeeman, 2013).” By using a method known as a 3C process (cooperative, continuing, and comprehensive) transportation agencies, stakeholders, and the public are improving on activities and products. “PBPP attempts to ensure that transportation investment decisions are made – both in long-term planning and short-term programming of projects – based on their ability to meet established goals (Grant, D'Ignazio, Bond, and McKeeman, 2013).” During the past couple of decades transportation agencies have been trying to apply “performance management” which is a strategic approach that uses performance data to support decisions to arrive at desired performance outcomes. Performance management is recognized as improving many different areas of transportation planning. Some of these areas include: improving project and program deliver, informin...

...it will be very useful in making the transportation fields grow immensely. With everything else evolving and growing rapidly the transportation field needs to follow suite. The PBPP process is a great way for multimodal transportation to improve in all aspects.

The Nimsoft project plan will be derived using discovery-driven planning and by discovering what has already been discovered. Discovery-driven planning offers firms an organized approach to planning for new ventures in emerging markets. Given the uncertainty of new disruptive technology markets, discovery-driven planning drives firms to make assumptions about the organization and the emerging markets, then revise these assumptions as the market develops. Unlike conventional approaches, which focus on projections and prematurely define specific targets, discovery-driven planning focuses on meeting assumptions at key milestones and continually planning and adapting while the emerging market evolves. Thus, firms are able incrementally invest in the project.

The past is often said to be the best predictor of the future. In planning and forecasting for future labor needs, based on gaps in employment levels due to advancements, demotions, or exiting employees within a company, a review of a Markov Analysis chart can reflect areas of opportunity for the organization based on past employment movements (Dartmouth, n.d.). The Doortodoor Sports Equipment Company is unique in their industry, being in the only company to sell door to door. However, this tactic as well as other HR practices could be examined to determine if changes employed increase retention or improve internal promotions. A review of the Markov Analysis for the Doortoodoor Sports Equipment Company will now be considered.

Performance management is defined as the partnership of two individuals reaching for a mutual goal, exceptional performance. They are the employee and the supervisor.
Performance management is the process of establishing a favorable working environment for a given organization such that every employee will have the ability to work at their level best to achieve the organizations goals and objectives. This process basically involves developing clear job description, acquisition of proper work force, providing appropriate training of employees and designing equitable compensation plans along promoting career development for the employees. Managing performance in any given corporate body is one of the most important contributions that managers should put into consideration. Setting up goals, laying down objectives and strategizing on appropriate methods to achieve such goals are the main essentials of performance management. Good management plan ensures regular coordination and efficiency in the organization system.
Performance management is a process that guarantees an organisation and all of its available resources are working collectively and effectively towards achieving the organisation’s mission or goal. Performance management affords an understanding of what drives an individuals, and even organisations, performance at all levels. An understanding of performance management allows for the identification and minimisation of unproductive areas of an organisation, as well as an ability to predict future performance. It is a powerful tool that can be used by managers at all levels of an organisation to help improve a company’s productivity.
This makes all employees across all divisions equal when it comes to performance and development planning. Also, by implementing categories for each employee, supervisors can use the scoring system to see exactly where gaps and weaknesses are in the team. Once gaps and weaknesses are identified, performance and development planning can be constructed accordingly. Basically the new performance management system allows supervisors of the organization to identify, address, and resolve any sort of employee performance issues or concerns. This can lead to higher buy-in of the organization, and an increase in overall
Performance management is a management tool used to value, monitor and measure a company’s strategies that ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of its product delivery. This management tool does not focus on the organisation and on its employees as well as stakeholders. It is a continuous process that entails that managers make sure that organisational and employee values are corresponding (Aguinis, 2005,p.1/2-1/5). Performance Management brings about the competencies in the employees, increases self-esteem by giving feedback to employees, there is a low number of lawsuits because it helps understand the company better (eThekwini Municipality, 2008,p.10-11). According to Pride, Hughes and Kapoor (2011, p.288) performance management creates motivation for employees; one theory of motivation is of Expectancy, which stipulates that employees satisfaction is driven by expectations of what an organisation will offer in return.
Performance management is a great tool for both the employee as well as the organization. For the employee, it gives the employee a clear picture of his areas of improvement and helps him improve and grow. From the organization’s perspective, it lets them understand the potential they have in their employees and how to realize them. It helps them to analyze who are worthy of being held onto and whom to let go so that the organization grows. In all, an effective tool, if used in the correct manner by all the parties involved.
Performance management aims to manage and improve individual performance with a vision to improving performance across the entire business. [Walter. M, 1995] defines performance management as the process of ‘Directing and supporting employees to work as effectively and efficiently as possible in line with the needs of the organisation’. It is very important to direct and support employees to work efficiently, and this can only be successful if a well-structured performance management system is put in place. But, nonetheless some organisations don’t get it
Performance management is used for the basis of promotion, reduction in force purposes (talent management), gives transparency of what an organization is looking for, merit increases, and lastly it provides protection against lawsuits for unlawful termination by keeping written documentation. Performance evaluations are advantageous to both the organization and the employee. A leading advantage of performance evaluations is it gives the employee an opportunity to create and achieve smart goals. Although performance evaluations primary function is to measure whether an employee is a good fit or a bad fit for the organization, its function is so much a broader. Performance management is tool purposely used to motivate employees to examine themselves and determine if they have selected the profession that is best for them; consequently the feedback an employee receives from their superior supports them with increase their knowledge and
Performance management is a continuous process that creates a working culture to encourage employees to improve their work performance and reach their full potential during their stay of employment.
