...Planning Document Dr. Bagwell HRM 517-Managing Human Resource Projects Strayer University August 2012 Construct a project charter to revamp the compensation and benefits package. Title: New Beginnings for the improvement of Human Resource Functions Scope Overview: The New Beginnings project is to introduce a new and more efficient way of handling Human Resource functions to the company. The outsourcing of payroll systems and increasing the number of benefits the employees have access to will increase the morale of the company and decrease the current amount of stress associated with both. By changing the ways in which this team handles compensation and benefits packages to the current employees, this will give the team and employees more time to focus on more pressing issues. The new design of the payroll system is one that will save the company money and the personnel time. The latest benefits packages that are being offered to the staff, will change their lives for the better and make the company’s dealings with the vendors more constructive. The current systems being used for both compensation and the use of benefits packages is out dated and needed to be more accessible to all affected parties, more time efficient, technologically advanced with the times of modern communications, and needed to decrease time spent on the tasks and increase the productivity of both employees submissions and human resource personnel. Business Case: The purpose of the New...

...Case Study 1: Green Computing Research Project – Part 1 James Johnson IT Project Management – CIS 517 Dr. Howell July 31, 2012 As technology increases through massive changes it becomes apparent that the individual user must also make changes that are environmentally safe. Green IT, also known as Green Computing, is the movement towards a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective use of power and production in technology. The crux of Green IT is to double or triple the bottom line investment costs by converting existing structures and systems to this more conservative mode of operation in green computing (eweek.com, 2012). The greening of information technology (IT) offers numerous ways for companies to significantly improve the bottom line, whether through energy efficiency of computers and printers via power management, smart e-waste or asset management, or greening data centers with virtualization or cloud computing (greenbiz.com, 2012). Maintaining efficiency throughout daily operations is high on the priority list in an effort for business to not only cut costs but manage their services in a much more streamlined fashion. The transformation to become green friendly is one that requires the coordination of many areas. To ensure that working groups are formed, timelines are established, and end results are defined based off of the recommendations and requirements of the stakeholders the formation of a project management team is required.

Since budget cuts are in place, the spreadsheet will be developed based on existing resources and work force. We must view this as a “process improvement” effort. The current process has groups working serially. This causes bottlenecks. If one group misses their date, it creates a chain reaction of missed dates through the other groups. Currently we are not tracking any of the obstacles that can occur during the design phase. By using the spreadsheet, all participants will have an opportunity to log their input, and flag any concerns. The spreadsheet will contain the following items: • PBA requirements • Task Definitions • Time to complete • Issues/Comments • Release Date CREATE A CORE TEAM The Core Team will be comprised of one member from each group. Each group will select an individual to represent them in a Team Lead capacity on the Core Team. Assignment of an arbitrator will be necessary to make a judgement if deadlocks occur.

...and easily integrated so that multiple buyers will have interest in purchasing the stores. The holding company has decided to sell the chains in order to concentrate on a few core businesses and competencies. Project shock reveals the changes that need to be made to the projects goals and timelines. First is a change in the clients’ interests being that the European holding company would no longer like to own the chain of stores. This causes the project to shift into a direction of identifying a universal IT application set rather than deciding on one that would fit the stores of the chain. There is also a change in the business situation. The holding company’s goal is to sell the chain of (DIY) stores. This causes the project to take the direction of finding the best IT application set between England and France to no longer be relevant. The consultant has a contingency plan in place that outlines how the project will proceed. First, the consultant and the key personnel will meet as soon as possible to discuss what needs to be done to complete the project in light of the holding company’s decision to sell the stores.
