By default, Team Objectives<\/a> sum to a total on the Team Dashboard<\/a> for all members of that team. However, if the Unit for that Team Objective is set to a Percent, we average them instead. Otherwise, we’d end up with a team objective of 100% for each team member and, if there were 5 team members, the “team goal” would be 500%–which makes no sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did we do it this way? Let’s look at two examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Objective Unit is an Integer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. There are 2 people on the “Widget Team”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Widget Team’s objective is 100 widgets created per team member (unit is “integer”)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Jim has created 120<\/span> (that’s 120\/100 = 120%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bob has created 12<\/span> (that’s 12\/100 = 12%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. On the Widget Team Objective, it will show how the team as a whole is doing: 56%<\/strong> (12+120 \/ 100 + 100)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this way we can look at an overall team and see how the group is doing. To see which individuals are high-performing, and which are not (looking at you Bob), look at the Team 2×2 to the left of the team dashboard<\/a>. You can also drilldown into individual employees on that team from either the Accountability Chart<\/a> or the Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Team Objective Unit is a Percent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. There are 2 people on the “Writing Team”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The Writing Team’s objective is 100% utilization per team member (unit is “percent”)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Jim is at 150%<\/span> utilization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Bob is at 5%<\/span> utilization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. On the Widget Team Objective, it would show the AVERAGE <\/strong>for the team: 77.5%<\/span> utilization<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Once again, we can look at the team as a whole, as well as drilldown into the individuals on the team. We just wouldn’t want the percentages to add up to 155% out of 200%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That’s why these are a little different. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
