# Performance Appraisal

The Performance Appraisal screen in Hivel is a powerful tool that allows you to compare the performance of developers or teams using various key metrics. This feature helps you quickly identify where each individual or team stands and if there are any bottlenecks in specific areas.

* **Compare Multiple Users**: Evaluate the performance of multiple users to understand individual contributions and identify areas for improvement.
* **Compare Multiple Teams**: Assess the performance of different teams to recognize overall team productivity and collaboration effectiveness.
* **Compare Users and Teams**: Compare the performance of individual users against their respective teams to see how each individual stacks up against the team's performance.

#### With this visibility you can:
