Fixed-fee project margins collapse due to hidden hours

The problem

Fixed-fee project margins collapse due to hidden hours

Teams treat fixed-fee projects as 'free' time, failing to log hours accurately. Scope creep goes unnoticed, turning profitable projects into losses.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is happening on your team

  • Fixed-bid projects run over internal estimates
  • No way to calculate the real hourly yield of fixed work
  • Scope expands without price adjustments
