IT performance management

Okay, imagine you're playing a game with your friends. You want to know how well you're doing, right? That's where "performance management" comes in.

Performance management is like a way to measure how well you're doing at something – like a game, or a job, or schoolwork. It helps you understand what you're good at, and what you might need help with.

Think of it like this: let's say you're playing a game of tag with your friends. After the game is over, you might want to know how many times you were "caught" (how many times you got tagged), right? And you might want to know how many times you "tagged" someone else (how many times you tagged one of your friends).

In the same way, when people talk about "performance management," they're talking about ways to measure how well you're doing at something.

Now, when it comes to jobs, "performance management" works in a similar way. If your mom or dad has a job, they might have a boss who wants to know how well they're doing at work (just like in the tag game!). So they might have to keep track of things like how many sales they've made, or how many customers they've helped.

And if they're doing really well, their boss might give them a "reward" (like a bonus, or a certificate), just like how you might get a high-five from your friends if you win the tag game.

So that's what "performance management" is all about – finding ways to measure how well you're doing, and figuring out what you can do to get even better!
