Many organizations, especially larger ones, have a matrix structure in which project teams pull in resources who report to multiple different managers. So there may be a disconnect between the reporting manager and the team.

It's also just as difficult to evaluate team performance as individual performance. With knowledge workers everything is so subjective, and trying to put objective metrics on it ends up being self defeating due to people gaming the system in ways that harm the broader organization.
