The underlining presupposition and the supposition of performance management as a study field have been controversial or have a non-defined concept ever since the field was introduced to the mainstream economy. The paper covers the concept of performance management as a business analyst, scrum master, archeologist, and leader. The research delves into the founding history of performance management and analyzes critical performance management tools. Our findings show that performance management should be seen, managed, and played as an infinite game while creating incentives for the players who will, in turn, drive productivity in any industry.
