Performance management, 360 feedback, goals and engagement platform built for Microsoft Teams

Teamflect is spending its releases on who can see what, and when.

◆Current state
Recent work is almost entirely administrative control rather than new employee-facing features. Feedback gained two deadline behaviors — results hidden until the submission date passes, and forms locked read-only once overdue. Goals gained an approval flow requiring manager sign-off before activation. Scoped admin rules now support AND conditions and can edit manager assignments within their scope. Releases arrive in batches, with eight of the last ten landing within ten minutes of each other.
◆Where it's heading
The consistent target is data integrity in performance cycles. Hiding early responses and randomizing anonymous open-ended answers both address the same problem — feedback contaminated by what others already said — while locking overdue forms makes a deadline mean something rather than being advisory. Goal approvals and scoped admin precision point at larger organizations where a central HR team cannot personally review everything. Microsoft permission handling keeps getting clearer, which is expected for a product living inside Teams.
◆Prediction
The scoped admin model looks like it is being built out toward full delegated administration; expect more per-scope capabilities on the manager-assignment pattern, and the deadline controls to extend from feedback into review cycles generally.

    Show 360-Degree Feedback Results Only After the Due Date

    360-degree feedback results can be hidden until the submission deadline passes, and anonymous open-ended responses are shown in randomized order. Both changes attack the same integrity problem: reviewers anchoring on what colleagues already submitted, or identifying them by response order.

    Lock Feedback Submissions After the Due Date

    Overdue feedback forms can be made read-only organization-wide, preserving saved drafts while blocking late submission, and the setting can be reversed at any time. It applies across standalone requests, 360 cycles and 360 within reviews — a deadline that the system enforces rather than merely displays.

    🚀 Goals: Goal Approval Flows

    New goals can require manager approval before becoming active, configurable per goal type and per employee group, with approve, request-changes and reject actions plus admin bulk review pages. Goal setting shifts from self-service to a reviewed process, which matters where goals feed compensation or performance ratings.

    🧩 More Powerful Scoped Admin Rules

    Scoped admin rules gain AND conditions, so access can be defined as country and department together rather than a single attribute. A small change that makes delegated administration workable in organizations where one dimension is too coarse.

    👤 Scoped Admins Can Update Manager Information

    Scoped admins can edit manager assignments for users inside their scope, described as a frequently requested addition. Reporting-line changes were previously a central-admin task, and delegating them is what makes regional administration self-sufficient.

    🔐 Improved Permission Experience

    Clearer Microsoft admin consent requirements throughout the platform, suggested users in search, and better guidance when automation settings lack granted permissions. Polish on an ongoing friction point rather than a change in capability.
