...Project Scope Document Template HRIS Implementation Project Project Scope Document Gen-Rays 1/17/2014 Scope Description GenRays has just implemented a centralized finance, purchasing and logistics system. As a result of this implementation, the company realized that it saved cost and improved productivity. The management is now looking for a similar system for HR and is convinced that this implementation will replicate similar success. The following is the current scenario at GenRays HR operations: the HR system is not centralized and each location has its own HR team to carryout payroll and other HR duties. The downside of this setup is that it costs the company great deal of time and money. In order to integrate HR systems within the company, a new HRIS needs to be implemented to improve business functions. HRIS system will centralize employee database, payroll, performance management, career development and other HR operations. With the new system, recruitment process will be automated with a searchable database and capable of accessing opportunities available in the job portal. Customer Requirements: GenRays is looking for a system that would centralize its HR functions. Currently, employees are working from branch locations to support the legacy system – something the new HRIS system is supposed to address and replace. The customer is also looking for cost-effective system that would be able to automate most of the HR services such...

...MGMT404 Project Management April 25, 2013 Table of Contents Executive Summary Scope Statement Work Breakdown Structure Network Diagram Risk Management Plan Resource Management Plan Communication Management Plan Executive Summary Several years ago we signed a contract with an outside vendor to handle our HR calls; this company was mostly there to assist during open enrollment and to answer the questions of colleagues as it pertained to their Benefits through our corporation. We set high expectations, however, shortly after the launch we started experiencing longer than usual hold times, and the miscommunication of accurate information began to increase. We received tons of unsatisfactory emails and calls from disgruntle colleagues pleading for an alternative to calling the “solution center.” While we really wanted the experience to be pleasurable, it was extremely difficult to change the already tarnished reputation the vendor had established with our colleagues. After a year and a half of negative feedback we decided to sever ties with the vendor, and the search for alternatives began. After several meetings with the Senior Leadership Team it was determined that providing the type of relatable service that expressed care and concern could only be provided by colleagues of our corporation who understood how Benefits are administered. It was later decided that we would bring our service center in-house and staff the department with HR certified...
