Date: 7/22/2017
1. Project title: New Web Based Tool
2. High-level project scope ( fewer than 50 words)
A new performance management process will be created that
utilizes a web-based system; providing a convenient way to
document and track employee performance goals, provide
regularly updated status reports, and a vehicle for managerial
feedback. The system will use quantified data for salary/bonus
treatment at year’s end.
3. Problem to be solved or opportunity to be realized by this
project (fewer than 25 words)
The new performance management system will provide an
efficient way to quantify employee performance; providing a
fairer, more accurate system for performance appraisals.
4. Project purpose or justification including specific measurable
business impacts or results (fewer than 50 words)
The new performance management system is needed because of
the lack of accuracy in past employee performance reviews and
merit increases. The new system will provide both qualitative
and quantitative data metric data, which will result in providing
more precise analysis of employee work performance.
5. Measurable project objectives and related success criteria
including metrics (Provide three to four objectives with metrics)
· Determine which performance measuring criteria should be
implemented into the new system, and describe how the system
utilizes it.
· Develop performance management system platform
· Integrate system into company website
· Achieve increased employee performance of at least 15%
within 12 months of implementation.
6. High-level requirements (fewer than 100 words)
The performance management system project will require a
hand-selected project team with extensive background in human
resources and supervisory management. Two human resource
clerks will participate, in addition to a single project manager.
The team will also require the services of a software
development consultant and her team of two software engineers.
The project will be staged in a small suite of offices on the
third-floor of the downtown Seattle office. The project will
require the purchase of a new web server, and dedicated internet
connection during preliminary stages prior to implementation in
a production environment.
7. High-level risks (fewer than 100 words)
Some high-level risks include: developmental delays, scope
creep, excessive change requests, technical difficulties, lack of
employee enthusiasm for new performance system.

PROJECT PLAN OVERVIEW & PRELIMINARY PROJECT
PLANProject Plan Overview & Preliminary Project Plan
Team A:
Project Selection Criterion
One of the biggest decisions an organization makes is what
projects to take on. Once a scope of work, bids or a proposal
has been presented as project material, there are many factors to
consider. The most valuable options should be chosen as well
as considering goals and objectives of the portfolio of the
organization. The benefits of the project as well as objectives
are the main reason for choosing a project. Another thing to
consider would be the feasibility, what is the likelihood of this
project getting off the ground to completion. Timing must be
well-thought-out for each project. Some projects are conducted
in an emergency state, whereas, some are planned out far in
advance. Budget is one of biggest reasons for a project to fail
or be successful. A chosen project must maintain allocated
funding from stakeholders.
The first step for project selection is defining the project and
the criteria thereof. The second step is to score the project for
where it stands before other projects. The last step inform
stakeholders for approvals For this particular project the
criteria behind this project being chosen was the sales force
needed a web-based tool that could help in managing client
accounts, track sales and maintain customer proposals. It was
chosen due to the value of customer satisfaction verses budget
constraints. The benefits to cost ratio was analyzed and found
to be a profitable advantage for the sales team and their
customers. The payback period was examined; the findings
were that within a five year period the payback would be higher
than cost of project.
As the sales team begin to manage their customers with a more
organized position, they can take on more customers and keep
satisfaction and personable service while maintaining
production. Stakeholders chose this project for growth of
clients. Another criteria for selection was time management.
With the purchase and implementation of this web-based tool,
the sales force will have the tools to preserve client accounts in
a timely fashion. The web-based tool has the ability to notify
sales and clients when their products are low. The tool is also
has the ability to perform data-based functions. The sales team
inputs what products the client has. The client uses the tool for
production accountability. When stock gets low, the tool sends
notification to that client’s sales person for further ordering
direction. This cost value and customer satisfaction was criteria
for stakeholder decision Overview
The nature and scope of this project is to develop a web based
tool for a client organization. Team A works for an information
technology organization. A client has asked our organization to
help build and implement a new web-based internal management
system for their sales department to manage their customer
accounts. Our client’s sales managers and sales executives will
use this tool to develop account plans for their customers and to
track their own sales results and be able to extract a sales report
for each sales representative at each quarter. The focus of this
project is to be able to deliver a program that sales
representatives can manage easily anywhere and be able to pull
statistical information about their clients and themselves and
sales criteria.
The purpose of this internal management system implementation
is to help our clients sales department get more organized and
be able to input their client’s information and be able to build
programs specific to the needs of their clients. This
implementation will also allow the sales representatives to be
able to manage their client base much easier and be able to
track their clients progress and also be able to keep up to date
statistical information in their systems about their clients as
well. This system is being customized and developed
specifically to fit the needs of our client and requirements to
meet the client’s needs internally. The long term goal is for our
client to be able to manage their clients much better and be able
to address their needs in a more specific fashion.
We will be developing the project based on the following
criteria;
· A description of your internal client's requirements for this
sales and account management system.
· Identification and engagement of the appropriate stakeholders
to define the requirements for the new system.
· Development and testing of the system.
· Implementation of the system.
· A method for obtaining client feedback.

Once a scope of work, bids or a proposal
  • 30.
    has been presentedas project material, there are many factors to consider. The most valuable options should be chosen as well as considering goals and objectives of the portfolio of the organization. The benefits of the project as well as objectives are the main reason for choosing a project. Another thing to consider would be the feasibility, what is the likelihood of this project getting off the ground to completion. Timing must be well-thought-out for each project. Some projects are conducted in an emergency state, whereas, some are planned out far in advance. Budget is one of biggest reasons for a project to fail or be successful. A chosen project must maintain allocated funding from stakeholders. The first step for project selection is defining the project and the criteria thereof. The second step is to score the project for where it stands before other projects. The last step inform stakeholders for approvals For this particular project the criteria behind this project being chosen was the sales force needed a web-based tool that could help in managing client accounts, track sales and maintain customer proposals. It was chosen due to the value of customer satisfaction verses budget constraints. The benefits to cost ratio was analyzed and found to be a profitable advantage for the sales team and their customers. The payback period was examined; the findings were that within a five year period the payback would be higher than cost of project. As the sales team begin to manage their customers with a more organized position, they can take on more customers and keep satisfaction and personable service while maintaining production. Stakeholders chose this project for growth of clients. Another criteria for selection was time management. With the purchase and implementation of this web-based tool, the sales force will have the tools to preserve client accounts in a timely fashion. The web-based tool has the ability to notify sales and clients when their products are low. The tool is also has the ability to perform data-based functions. The sales team

    inputs what productsthe client has. The client uses the tool for production accountability. When stock gets low, the tool sends notification to that client’s sales person for further ordering direction. This cost value and customer satisfaction was criteria for stakeholder decision Overview The nature and scope of this project is to develop a web based tool for a client organization. Team A works for an information technology organization. A client has asked our organization to help build and implement a new web-based internal management system for their sales department to manage their customer accounts. Our client’s sales managers and sales executives will use this tool to develop account plans for their customers and to track their own sales results and be able to extract a sales report for each sales representative at each quarter. The focus of this project is to be able to deliver a program that sales representatives can manage easily anywhere and be able to pull statistical information about their clients and themselves and sales criteria. The purpose of this internal management system implementation is to help our clients sales department get more organized and be able to input their client’s information and be able to build programs specific to the needs of their clients. This implementation will also allow the sales representatives to be able to manage their client base much easier and be able to track their clients progress and also be able to keep up to date statistical information in their systems about their clients as well. This system is being customized and developed specifically to fit the needs of our client and requirements to meet the client’s needs internally. The long term goal is for our client to be able to manage their clients much better and be able to address their needs in a more specific fashion. We will be developing the project based on the following criteria; · A description of your internal client's requirements for this sales and account management system. · Identification and engagement of the appropriate stakeholders
