Hi All,
Recently i came across a situation where I need to rate project team members who have worked on same project. But the project didn't do well in terms of cost and schedule due to lot of technical and resource challenges from one of the functional team.
It was a project executed with two different domain functional team (say A and B). While one of the team (A) is able to execute their share of work within approved cost and schedule, the other team couldn't achieve due to various challenges both from internal team (B) and external client side.
The members of team A obviously expects good rating since they have completed the given task on time and schedule with accepted Quality. However, from business and organizational point of view, its a 'RED' project with high cost overrun.
How team A and B can be justified with good rating? Any thoughts on this? Saving Changes...
I think this is exactly why we try to setup the rating criteria ahead of time and ensure understanding and fairness. We should identify and recognize which criteria are in someone's own control vs. which are outside of their control.
Perhaps you can come up with 2 sets of criteria (in scope of control - 1,2,3 and outside scope of control - 1,2,3) and rate each team on both sets of criteria Saving Changes...

Thanks Samuel, for suggestion. Unfortunately we set ratings common across all projects and it will not differ for each project and team. (Like Schedule, quality, budget etc).
Team A which is delivered on time within schedule and budget was responsible for backed development activities and team B which failed to deliver onetime was responsible for front end development activities.
Any other different thoughts from anybody on this? Saving Changes...
