Project Scope DescriptionAfter realizing greater than anticipated ROI with the rollout of a new financial, logistics and purchasing system, GenRays desires to fuel additional growth and expansion to the company. With the cost-savings associated with the automatic calculations experienced with the new technically advanced system, they are now able to fund more research and projects to improve their workplace.
The HRIS and ESS project will attempt to bring the following benefits to GenRays:
1) Further productivity with Eforms and automatic calculations2) Adding and maintaining the talent pool with Recruiting and Performance Review enhancements3) Enable employees a better Career Path management and tracking system4) Decrease IT overhead, increase Reporting and Analytics capabilities with database consolidation5) Minimize risk in Payroll and Employee Information tracking and integrate with LDAP directory6) Increase Benefits flexibility and management capabilities

Statement of WorkThe project team will work to initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control, and close all phases of the HRIS with ESS project, within the boundaries prescribed by senior management. The project team will report to senior management at key milestones in the project and work to mitigate any risks along the
4
way. Vendors will be evaluated to deliver the technology and implementation of the system, however these costs should be weighed against building in-house as an option to vet the decision to buy. The work should include training of all GenRays employees on the new system. The new system will have key performance indicators which will establish success towards meeting project objectives, both during and after the system is implemented, and lessons learned should be archived for future project research artifacts.

Project Boundaries
Budget103K is allocated for the entire project. It is assumed this is for the procurements, including any hardware and software licensed, any vendors hired, and internal staff time allocated to complete project tasks.
ScheduleAs per internal HR memo, work may start after W2s are issued, but that project must be complete with all system elements functional before year-end closing.
ResourcesSponsors have indicated that the Project Manager should coordinate with team leads prior to assigning project support staff, in order to ensure manageable levels of conflict so that it doesn’t overshadow the success of the progress for the week.
In order to observe this request, the resources will be assigned in the Project Management Plan which will be approved by the team leads, and the PMP will reference how change control will be managed if any rescheduling or resource conflicts arise, in order to observe the request.
The financial systems overhaul used company resources that proved to be effective in accomplishing the objectives for the project and should be leveraged again if possible, with respect for the considerations on their time and other restrictions outlined in the HR memorandums.
Resources allocated must not violate the HR policy or individual constraints of 8 hour workdays, 5 days per week.

Project AssumptionsA Build vs. Buy analysis will be performed during the feasibility study in order to assess viability of solutions built in-house to those offered by vendor.
Best Practices and Organizational Factors will influence the nature of the project activities.
It is assumed that the project costs include for all personnel man-hours devoted to project tasks including project management.

Initial Defined Risks and Constraints
Risk Impact
Likelihood of
Occurrence(L,M,H)
Degree of
Impact(L,M,H
) Action Trigger Responsibility Response Plan
Stakeholders in the project teams categorized as Resistor may interfere with project objectives and success
Medium M MProgress towards
deliverables isn’t as forecast
Project Manager
Do not staff possible Resistor resources on project unless absolutely necessary, use relationships and management influence and buy-in tactics to gain acceptance from resistors into project goals (Surveys, input into plans, etc.)
Project team members not getting along interfere with team ability to make progress on project objectives
Medium M M
Complaints within the team regarding other team-members attitudes or performance
Team Lead
Attempt to mitigate with functional manager intervention, as with lesson’s learned from financial system project this worked. If cannot be mitigated, seek to move scheduled tasks, or remove one member from the project.
Development cost overruns due to unforeseen technical challenges
High L H
Critical Path analysis shows behind schedule on meeting Pilot or Development deliverables
Project Manager
First, if outsourcing, seek to work with same or similar vendor used in financial project as they experienced great success and their systems are already known to work with ours. If building in-house, assess if new development staff need to be added to project. Second, if unrelated to resources, seek to either increase budget or time constraints if necessary to meet scope, or present option to management to cut scope.
13
Sensitive employee data leaks to either internal or external sources during migration or implementation
High L H
Any employee or other resource observing sensitive employee data leaking to any inappropriate resources
Team Members, Leads, Project Managers
First, seek to avoid incident by having highly technical staff review the system design and quality assurance plans. If incident occurs, immediately secure the data and seek to remove from all inappropriate sources. Notify employee of incident and extent of PII leaked. Troubleshoot issue and have IT staff resolve.
System complexity too great and too many integration issues uncovered, resources not fully utilized due to dependencies
High M H Team Members, Vendors
Modulate the deployment such that system is done first, and then each component module is done after System is stabilized. Each module broken down by area of expertise so can be run in parallel.
System downtime due to unforeseen events (power outages, natural disasters, security patching, troubleshooting critical issues)
High L H
Any critical system impacted such that it is offline/unusable for a moderate to substantial time during project execution
Team Members, Vendors
Use industry Best Practices for security, fault tolerance and redundancy such that development isn’t impacted. Have backup plan for all critical systems including options such as off-prem resources as options (cloud).
Project Team members availability impacted adversely by unforeseen events or priority conflicts
High M H
Any project milestone begins to slip due to availability, team meetings and status milestones
Team Members, Vendors, Project Management
Staff backups/teams of people instead of just single resources, to as many areas of the project as possible, without overstaffing which would adversely impact budget.
Key: L = low, M = medium, H = high
