Management by Objectives (MBO)

A goal-focused performance management method that sets clear, measurable objectives and judges performance by how well results align with project outcomes.

Key Points

  • Objectives are jointly agreed and cascaded from organizational strategy to project and individual goals.
  • Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, with success criteria defined upfront.
  • Performance is reviewed by comparing actual results to the agreed objectives and the project's outcomes.
  • Requires regular feedback and the ability to adapt goals as project priorities evolve.

Example

In a software release project, the project manager and team lead agree on objectives: reduce average cycle time by 20% and achieve a 95% automated regression pass rate by the end of the release. Team performance is evaluated against these targets and the quality of delivered features.
