Great tool for HR teams to track workers performance
Overall Satisfaction with 15Five
We use this platform to give feedback to our managers, it's allowing to track what are our current progress in some tasks depending on the period of time you are reporting. For instance, we have a weekly scope and are 4 tasks in progress may be completed in the upcoming days, so in 15Five we push the latest updates around the current status of each one. The weekly report also includes other useful metrics like level of happiness or level of difficulty trying to solve the pending tasks.
Each report includes the expectation about the task completion and what of the current work will remain open until next report, you can add new task for the following weeks/reports.

Pros
- The track of worker metrics like level of satisfaction with their job.
- Bring a easy way to put a list of highlights occurring in the current week
- Based on the reports, a manager can have a visual track around the worker performance and take decisions in consequence.
Cons
- Each task can be attached to an alarm, if you doesn't complete it after some weeks or let it opened then the system should remind you about the issue.
- Can add more fields to track other metrics like hours expended, level of difficulty by task or the capability to add subtasks if the current one cannot be closed due news founds.
- In general the worker cannot access to their proper metrics, might be useful if not only the manager can get the historical performance
- This tool is good for managers but doesn't retrieve details about the real job done by the developers. It doesn't bring a way to corroborate the reports there.
- From the developer perspective can be a waste of time being reporting updates about the same thing in many management tools, including this. The missing feature to link with other tools like DevOps or Atlassian is a big milestone to take in account.
- The real value that can be obtained from this tool will depend on how well the company is doing in terms of data literacy, because this will brings a lot of good information but still is too manual.
You can track developer's task from HR perspective, than means, as manager you don't want to have the technical description around what the developer is doing, just to have a brief visualization of the current work. With it you can follow how your resources are felling with some projects/customers.
It will not allows to track the project performance but the worker development resulting useful for psychologist in example.
