Automated Support for the Assessment Panel Process

This article, which appeared in the GAO Review, Vol. 20, Issue 2, Spring 1985, discusses the use of automated systems to support an assessment panel in the Annual Assessment Process, the GAO-wide evaluation of employees' performance, and described the stages of that project from design to development and testing. It also showed the results of a postevaluation which provided suggestions for fine-tuning the system and for improving some of the system's output. This microcomputer-based support system received enthusiastic support for its continued use.
