In your experience have you got the impression or even confirmation that some PM would be influence by their bonification.

Could be delaying decision or any other action or non action.

This is one tough question to answer. Thanks for posting. I would like to see comments from other PMs in their respective areas.

Well, some projects reward the sales and key management by the amount of sales. However, they know it is not easy to achieve the margin. So the key management, including the PM, may pocket the bonus money and leave the job, and some other PM need to pick up the mess. Or the PM need to find ways with the sales people to search for additional sales by additional scope.
Am I answering your question?

Thanks Dominic,
In your example, the company would let people pocket the full amount of the bonus at contract signature. Not wait for a minimum of the execution done to demonstrate that the margin are achievable.
In most country I understand that amount paid to an employe is not touchable after. Getting company to be more diligent in paying early.

Thanks Vincent,
I agree with your method to delay the bonus until certain milestones are met. So "bonus" is a method to encourage PM and the project team performance.

So the subject or the ethic make it difficult to contribute
