Name
Win Shares
Synopsis
- Purpose
Assign a relative level of credit to each coder for new users. - Formula
Win Shares = Wins × Influence × Efficiency
Example
The individual coders on a software team have the following Influence for a software release:
| Coder A: Influence .22, Efficiency .64 |
| Coder B: Influence .26, Efficiency .85 |
| Coder C: Influence .16, Efficiency .70 |
| Coder D: Influence .36, Efficiency .81 |
During the period measured, the software release accumulates 845 Wins.
The Win Shares for each individual coder can then be calculated as follows:
| Win Shares Coder A = 845 × .22 × .64 = 119.0 |
| Win Shares Coder B = 845 × .26 × .85 = 186.8 |
| Win Shares Coder C = 845 × .16 × .70 = 94.6 |
| Win Shares Coder D = 845 × .36 × .81 = 246.4 |
Notes
The Win Shares metric identifies a relative share for each coder based on the number of Wins accumulated for a software release and their individual Influence and Efficiency. Coders with a larger Influence and a higher Efficiency are attributed a higher number of Win Shares, and the number of Win Shares is exactly proportional to their Influence and Efficiency. Again, as with Advance Shares, this metric takes the perspective that direct and indirect influences should be taken into account when attributing the number of relative shares for each coder.
The usefulness of this metric is to make the number of Wins more personal and to put the Influence and Efficiency ratings in context of real results. Like all other Value Metrics, it provides a relative measure, in this case based ...
