Project Eligibility

How it works

Success Share eligibility is determined on a per-project basis.

When you'll know

The sales team will communicate eligibility to the team at the start of each project.

⚠  Over budget = no Success Share, regardless of any other factors.

04

Timeline Modifier

Applies to fixed-scope projects only. Ongoing projects have no timeline modifier.

On time -——————————————————————————————100%

1–10% late ——————————————————————————————90%

11–20% late —————————————————————————————-70%

More than 20% late ——————————————————————————0%

05

How Shares Are Split

The pool is split equally among all eligible team members. Every role counts the same.

Formula

Individual Share  =  Pool ÷ Number of Eligible Team Members  ×  Timeline Modifier\
