The steps designated in the Work Breakdown structure were given in five different steps. First, assessing the hardware needs of the new HRIS software. Second, obtaining the required hardware and installing the new software onto it. Third, moving all employee data and records from the old HR databases to the new, more robust HRIS system. Fourth and fifth are very similar, training for both Managers and employees in the two new systems of records, HRIS and payroll.
When assessing the hardware needs of the new HRIS software Kendall had to pay close attention to the required specifications. This may have taken additional research beyond learning the specs and delving deeper into equipment that may be unfamiliar. Conversely, the possibility exists that GenRay already possessed the correct hardware but the terminology of the HRIS specification guide was unclear or different and thus create confusion. However, all these obstacles would be Kendalls to overcome and gain a sufficient understand so he could use his knowledge for the next phase of the project.
With a firm knowledge of the hardware specifications of the new HRIS system, Kendalls next task was to provide an assessment report to Drew. The assessment would include a detailed list of the hardware which needed to be acquired to meet the requirements of the HRIS system. This would take into account the existing IT infrastructure and the new hardware items would be used to fill any deficiency. Drew would then accomplish his task, which consists of the actual ordering of the new equipment and seeing that order completed in a timely manner. Once obtained, Drew and Kendall would team up to integrate the hardware into the existing GenRay hardware, and ensure it had the connectivity needed for the upcoming HRIS software installation.
