Smart Target Tool

If you are unsure of what a scorecard target should be or unsure that your estimate is realistic you can use Ambition's Smart Target Tool to guide you.

What is a Smart Target?

The Smart Target Tool uses the last 12 weeks of performance data (as available) to make a recommendation of a realistic target value.

Statistically speaking, we provide the 80th percentile value as an attainable target.

That historical data is only pulled from an aggregation of assigned contributors for the group's scorecard.  

Set Smart Targets

1. Open the left navigation and click Administration > Scorecards.

2. Select the Role, or appropriate scored Group Type, whose scorecard you are wanting to modify.

3. Click the Calculate Target next to a particular metric. The Smart Target Tool will return the new 80th percentile value for your scorecard target.

80th percentile feel too high for your team?

↳ You can click into the box where "80th" is listed, and type in a new value, ex. 10th, 50th, etc.

4. Click on View Analytics to see a histogram and leaderboard based on your inputs above (showing thirty days of historical data). 

5. Click the Saves Scores button.

6. Confirm that you understand the changes being made will result in Scores being recomputed by typing I UNDERSTAND.

Then click the button stating, I Understand, Show Me the Next Warning.

7. Type I UNDERSTAND for Objective Score and click I Understand, Save Scores.

Your newest scorecard configuration will then be reflected across Ambition.
