We are creating a document that can be used to measure individual members within a project team. While it is easy to measure a project as a whole, it is difficult to determine how to measure each one of the persons involved and their specific contributions to the company. Any suggestions on where I can get additional information? Saving Changes...
well the basic thought is tht individuals make the whole. implying that the ppl make the project. and thus there shd be a trickle up and trickle down as well.
so, some of the paramters of project success should trickle down to the people as well. assuming that your basic project success measurement criteria are: scope, cost, schedule and customer delight...try to filter the same down for team members.
questions agains which you measure would be like: - did the person complete work on time? - did the person comeplete all the work, to scope? - did the person add more value to the project than estimated? - did the person help rest of the team (in some form or the other? - this of course depends on the stature of the person. - did the person show enough knowledge of the subject? - significant contributions /-ve feedback areas. - customer handling?? if at all... and if you are able to put points against each of these, you shd be good. ideally!
happy to perhaps locate some sort of a feedback form, if I can...and send to you. you would have to write to me separately at [email protected] or [email protected] Saving Changes...

There is another approach to this -
If you base your project planning on the delivery of products, then you can look at achievement. Looking at products, and decomposing them to sub-products through the use of a product breakdown structure (PBS) means that the delivery of products and sub-products can be made the responsibility of an individual.
This knowledge can contribute to the generation of appropriate estimates, and you can then determine whether the individual involved delivered what was expected, when it was expected. This is about productivity and achievement.
Hope this helps!
