Performance Management Cycle is more than the quarterly performance interview or the annual performance review. All members of an organization will go through the cycle, which begins with setting goals at the beginning of the year, monitoring progress along the way, and completing the year with a final review of performance.

The main purpose of the performance management cycle is to get members of the organization to set goals and improve overall performance year after year. It gives both teams and individuals a structured process that helps them to be more efficient at achieving organizational goals.
