HR INTEGRATION PROJECT
Mr. McCauley, the new HR system will utilize existing applications in use today combined into a single integrated system. The project has been rescheduled for a six-month release. It should be available by the second quarter of next year.
When completed, the project will define the business requirements for the development of the HR system and create a detailed project plan that provides a list of all the tasks, resources, schedule, and budget requirements for project completion.
The project will be managed using a modified waterfall technique. In this approach, the initial two phases of the project will be fully defined and approved before starting to work on the subsequent phases. System documentation will begin and continue through the design, development, and installation of the system. The Project Management team will provide weekly status reports to the project sponsor so that real time corrections can be accomplished. Once the project sponsor has determined that each phase has met its purpose and provided the required approval, the next phase can begin.
The stakeholders of this project will include the project sponsor, project manager, and representatives from human resources, the IT department, and accounting. You will be considered the Project Sponsor who will review and approve the completion of each phase of the project and I, Bob Havens am the Project Manager.
The following is a list of the phases, the tasks involved in, the estimated duration of, and brief description of each phase.
Define Problem (11 days)
The business case and proposed solution are examined to verify that they are appropriately defined, as well as address the organizational requirements and needs.

A feasibility study will be performed by the project team. A Schedule, Economic, Technical,
