here are some sample Key Result Areas (KRA) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for various departments in a Software Service company:

1. Software Development:

Additionally, involving relevant stakeholders and employees in the process of defining and refining these metrics can lead to more meaningful and effective performance measurement.

Hi Raju,

It is suggested you sit with the Manager/HOD of each Department to define KRA of employees. KRA is not something like readymade shirt or shoe to buy online and just fit to your employees. Each department of your Organisation performs different role which we the external members of this forum will not aware. General guidelines may be referred but actual Key Result Area the Supervisor/Manager can alone define.

Dear Dipti Srivastava,

You have given a long reply. However, I wish to correct you. You need to improve your understanding of the concept of KPI and KRA. You have mentioned KPIs as KRAs and vice versa.

The relationship between KPI and KRA can be explained in the following equation:

KRA = KPI + SMART Principle

I have uploaded two videos on Youtube. One is on the difference between KPI and KRA and another is on PMS. Click the following links to refer to those videos:

You may go through both videos to update yourself on these concepts.

For Raju Mehta: - I have given a large number of replies to the posts raised about KPI and KRA. Please check this forum.

Thanks,

Dear Dinesh Diwakar,

I apologize if my previous response did not meet your expectations. However, I would like to clarify that my understanding of KPI (Key Performance Indicator) and KRA (Key Result Area) is accurate. KPIs are specific metrics used to measure performance, while KRAs are broader areas of responsibility that contribute to achieving organizational goals.

The equation you mentioned, KRA = KPI + SMART Principle, seems to be a misinterpretation. The SMART principle is a framework used to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals, which can be linked to KPIs within a KRA.

Thanks,
Dipti

Hi Raju,
You may kindly go through my postings of KRA +KPI in Cite HR. I would suggest to work on the Skill Matrix which is posted by me in this cite and this gives you a clear picture about the strength and weakness of each employee for you to assess the rating part and to suggest the percentage of appraisal for employees.
Thanks.
