Programmers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development. It's 100% free, no registration required.

In our company there are some programmers and few designers, we want to create an evaluation sheet every month, which list all needed skills and how each employee is improving.
This sheet will help both the company and the employee.

Is there any examples for doing this? are you doing something like this in your company and can share with us?

This is off topic, since not about programming. Maybe it would fit on Workplace StackExchange – thorsten müller Oct 2 '12 at 8:42

may be, but i aim mainly programming skills, and programming related evaluations. – Amr ElGarhy Oct 2 '12 at 9:10

The best solution for our team was to do it in an agile style. No individual programmer or designer was evaluated, however the team as whole was. The evaluation was mostly based on the success (or lack of it) of finishing the stories the team committed to. After each iteration a retrospective was discussed to identify the hot spots where the team can do better. Sometimes, such spots were thing like "Help programmer X to better understand concepts Y and Z".

Take a look at the Scrum and XP techniques of evaluating progress. They may be useful for you.
