Electronic Data Systems (EDS) is a project management company comprised of numerous project managers to handle all types of projects brought forth. EDS puts great faith in these project managers with the expectation that they will deliver their services on time, on budget, and with the quality the stakeholders value. With that said, you would assume that their performance is directly related to their job security. However, EDS has been failing to do so because of their inability to keep track of these statistics and instead have been relying on subjective ratings to carry their performance appraisals from year to year (Levinson, 2008). Jed Zaitz, a senior project manager, has been fighting to change this practice to incorporate more of the objective characteristics of the project managers and the individual projects assigned. He feels that it is foolish not to take into consideration this crucial information when ultimately the entire business’s livelihood depends on the performance levels in these areas (Levinson, 2008). By incorporating these metrics into their yearly performance appraisals, it could potentially allow for improved delivery rates. He feels that even a small improvement would have the ability to make a huge difference in overall performance. Employees would have more insight into what they need to improve on, and their managers have the chance to provide knowledge and guidance to increase performance (Levinson, 2008). Continuing to follow his idea, Zait developed a 100 point system for which each project is graded on. At the point of completion, each project manager receives 100 points, with points being deducted for; defects detected, timing, quality, and/or being over budget. Each project would be treated differently, assigning more weight to those factors the stakeholders feel are most pertinent. Bonus points can also be given
