Performance Review Template for Tech Teams - Role-Based Weights for 9 Roles (Excel)

Description
Performance Review Template Built Specifically for Tech Teams

Most performance review templates treat every employee the same. They use identical criteria and weights for a Backend Developer, a Designer, and a Scrum Master — which forces HR managers and team leads to manually adjust forms for every role, or worse, run unfair evaluations.

This template solves that problem with role-based automated weighting across 9 common tech roles.

THE 9 ROLES SUPPORTED
✅ Scrum Master ✅ Developer — Frontend ✅ Developer — Backend ✅ Developer — Fullstack ✅ QC / QA Engineer ✅ Designer (UI/UX) ✅ Project Manager ✅ Product Manager ✅ Product Owner

Simply select a role on the Employee Info sheet, and all 31 evaluation criteria automatically re-weight to match that role's responsibilities. A Scrum Master gets weighted heavily on Sprint Facilitation and Impediment Removal; a Backend Developer on Code Quality and System Design; a Designer on Design Craft and User Research. Criteria that don't apply to a role show weight = 0 and are visually greyed out.
