Evaluation v1.0.0
Performance metrics and organisational effectiveness is critical to the success of any decentralised organisation.
What is an evaluation?
An evaluation is an assessment of something. In regards to Taupemist, an evaluation is the first service to be introduced within the performance tier. When members evaluate services, features, actions and provide feedback on them, this provides extremely valuable data concerning their effectiveness and utility. If evaluations are made often and are chronologically applied to incremental modifications, then the information that can be aggregated as a result can be essential in determining what works, what doesn't and what steps can be taken to improve.
How does it work?
Typically all new services and features should be evaluated as soon as it's existence, operation, or usage has the potential to provide data of any tangible value to the organisation. This includes all major releases and likely most if not all minor releases. Furthermore, all actions that are taken by members on the behalf of the organisation are also subject to evaluation.
The core data to be obtained from evaluations are ratings.
What is a rating?
A rating is a number from 0 to 5.
- 0: Nothing
- 1: Low
- 2: Below Average
- 3: Average
- 4: Above Average
- 5: Amongst the highest
How do I submit an evaluation?
An evaluation is composed of three fields.
- The title is a name, ID, or description of the service/action.
- The value is a rating of the value added to the organisation compared to other services/actions.
- The complexity is an optional rating of the complexity, differculty, or intricacy compared to other services/actions.
- The execution is an optional rating of how well it was executed based on the specification or intention.
- The reason is an optional field that can contain any supporting opinions or evidence towards their ratings.
- The improvement is an optional field where a member can provide information or opinions on how this service/action can or could possibly be improved.
Through using their desired steem website (i.e. steemit.com), a member can submit an evaluation as a comment to the related post or as a new post on the steem blockchain.
