Overview
What KManagement is, who uses it, and how a cycle works.
KManagement helps a company define how it measures employee performance, track the numbers behind those measures each period, and turn them into a clear score and grade. Instead of a rigid, one-size-fits-all review form, you design exactly the KPI system your organization uses — then the app does the counting, the math, and the reporting for you.
Everything you do lives inside your own company workspace. Your data is never mixed with, or visible to, any other company using the platform.
Who uses KManagement
There are three kinds of people in a workspace:
- Admins own the workspace. They manage people, company-wide settings, and integrations — and can do everything a manager can.
- Managers (team leads) run the day-to-day KPI work: they build the scoring frameworks, assign them, enter or sync the numbers, calculate results, and review their team.
- Members are the people being measured. They sign in to see their own KPI score, understand how it was calculated, respond to reviews, and (depending on company settings) see how teammates are doing.
A full breakdown of what each role can do is on the Roles & permissions page.
The big picture: how a cycle works
Almost everything in KManagement follows the same six-step rhythm, usually once a month:
- Build — a manager designs a framework: the tree of things you measure and how much each one counts. (Frameworks)
- Assign — the framework is attached to a team, a job title, or a specific person, and a cycle (the period being measured) is opened. (Assignments & cycles)
- Measure — the actual numbers are entered by hand or pulled automatically from Jira. (Measurements & Jira)
- Calculate — the app rolls everything up into a single percentage and looks up the matching grade. (Calculation & results)
- Review & approve — results can be discussed in comments and signed off through an approval workflow. (Approvals & comments)
- Report — final results are shared on dashboards and exported for HR or payroll. (Dashboards, Reports)
What the score means
Every KPI result is a percentage. It compares what someone actually achieved against their target:
- 100% means the target was met exactly.
- Above 100% means the target was exceeded (over-performance).
- Below 100% means the target was not fully met.
That percentage is then matched to a letter grade (for example D, C, B, A, A+, A++) using a grade scale you control. See Grades & bonuses.
