Implementing PMP

Select from the links below for basic information on how to use the Online PMP to complete Performance Evaluations and Performance Plans.

Performance Evaluations

To be eligible to receive an FY 2003 Performance Evaluation, an employee must have had an official FY 2003 Performance Plan in place for at least 90 days prior to the end of the rating period.

To complete a Performance Evaluation for a subordinate:

  1. Login to Online PMP through the HR Applications Gateway on the DCOP intranet. This is not accessible to the general public or from locations that are outside the DC government's wide area network.
  2. Select "Performance Evaluation" under "Subordinates" menu.
  3. Select subordinate for whom the evaluation will be completed, and click "OK." Options presented on the next screen will depend on the documents that already exist in the Online PMP system for the subordinate employee.
  4. Complete the Performance Evaluation. A Performance Evaluation includes the following:
    • Competency Ratings: Supervisory employees will be rated on all 15 competencies; non-supervisory employees will be rated on 10 competencies. All competencies will be rated using the PMP five-point scale, and must include comments to justify each rating assigned. Definitions of competencies are available online.
    • SMART Goal Ratings: Each SMART goal will be rated on the PMP five point-scale. Narrative comments must be included to justify the rating assigned to each goal.
    • Overall Performance Rating: The Online PMP system will automatically generate the Overall Performance Rating.
