Cuper 1.6.5 [free]

Issue: 

It’s believed that working in agile motivates people to solve all incoming tasks in the easiest and fastest possible way. This leads to decrease in the quality of work and an
accumulation of defects.


Also, there is no mutual coordination inside the working team as a single process, or this process is unsystematic. But exactly that process is «organizing» and «coordinating»
one for all other processes. 


Solution:

It’s necessary to recognize every person as a rightful participant of an «inner market» and therefore liberate his initiative, which means to breathe life into an organizational
structure.


It’s also necessary to share the principles of thrift with the team: «think widely, do fast, make fewer mistakes, learn rapidly».


Mechanism: 

A shared team bonus fund is being created.


Each member of the team is endowed with levers of influence on his co-executants: 

-personal premium fund («carrot»);

-personal penalty fund («stick»).


The personal fund is equal to 100 conventional units and serves to express 100% of its own positive and negative vibes, received from his co-workers. The obligatory requirement
is to use all 100 units completely. It forces users to not hush up appearing problems.


Every two weeks units, earned by a person from his co-workers (coefficient of work participation), are recalculated in his payment bonus. Meanwhile, he is fined by the half of
his negative grades, to exclude the manipulation of the value of bonus units. As a result, all members of the working team become equal-righted, solvent, and responsible
business partners, who take a real part in the organization and control of their mutual obligation chains. This system efficiently grows consciousness and responsibility of the
whole collective.


On one hand, such mechanism helps people with efficient self and mutual organization. On the other hand, it forces them to exactly follow the single vector of
development.


The properties of Cuper are paradoxical: the system is extremely simple in use, but its inner mechanisms are complicated and in many cases are out of traditional scientific
project management systems.
