The document proposes a 4-step process to implement a Timesheet Tool to streamline T-Mobile's timesheet process. Phase 0 involves piloting the tool with a small group and presenting Excel vs. Windows app versions. Phase 1 would take the tool further by connecting it to live data sources, automating validation, and facilitating file transfers. The goal is to automate nearly the entire timesheet process to save over $150k and 45 hours per week by catching errors and simplifying tasks.

Microsoft PPM helps you deliver on business strategies through high-impact outcomes. You can think of the PPM as a lifecycle which comprises of three phases: Ideate, Plan, and Execute.
Ideate: Is the initiation phase in which ideas are collected and projects are proposed. The organization’s business drivers capture the company’s strategy and guide ideation.
Plan: This phase includes preliminary planning of the projects at a high level. Microsoft PPM helps prioritize the projects subject to budget and resourcing constraints. Once projects are approved the solution supports detailed and realistic planning.
Execute: The goal of this phase is to deliver the projects through collaboration of the involved stakeholders.
Built on Microsoft’s cloud Microsoft PPM weaves in cloud services that power the PPM solution with collaboration capabilities, advanced analytics that drive insights and the ability to customize and extend the solution to meet unique needs of your organization.
Microsoft PPM is built on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. This means you get enterprise-grade security and compliance, highly secure and geographically diverse data centers, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

How a Business Process Vision May Boost Innovative IdeasNathaniel Palmer
Even before fascinating promises about orchestrating organizations, BPM directly supports different and previously unexplored points of view.
While traditional/transactional systems were designed and developed to vertically support departmental needs, BPM suites take care of creating bridges to link those functional islands together, in order to map and manage the evolution of companies cross activity paths. But beyond this relevant and valuable horizontal perspective, there are very significant organizational implications strictly related to the maturity of those BPM tools in terms of level of abstraction and business approach they propose. Starting from WHAT can be managed by BPM suites, this session will focus on HOW they allow to proceed involving users and managers
totally, when adopting an implementing-analysis approach, with unpredictable benefits and new ideas.
Wake Up – It’s Time to Upgrade Your S/4HANA System!panayaofficial
While many organizations are still running their ERP on SAP’s veteran platform – ECC, many others already completed their move to the newer S/4HANA platform.
Having said that, for those who were early adopters and implemented the first major S/4HANA versions between 2015 to 2017, it’s time to upgrade.
As SAP officially supports each S/4HANA version 5 years, these early versions (1511 to 1709) are already in end of life (EOL) mode.
This imposes significant risks to organizations, as well as preventing them adopt newer SAP solutions and innovations introduced in the further S/4HANA versions.

PROJECT STORYBOARD: Reducing Software Bug Fix Lead Time From 25 to 15 daysGoLeanSixSigma.com
GoLeanSixSigma.com Green Belt Eduardo Torres did a great job of cutting waste out of the process of fixing software bugs. The use of software is growing fast, and with no known way to guarantee new software is error-free, rapidly fixing bugs found is critical. Eduardo not only cut nearly 40% of the process time, but also cut the variability in half, greatly improving reliability!

2. Opportunity Statement
Opportunity Statement – Nearly every step of the timesheet process is error prone,
disorganized, and a huge waste of time.
With a few simple updates to our processes and the implementation of the
Timesheet Tool (which we already have), we can resolve nearly every issue from
selecting projects to charge to validating submitted timesheet.
Nearly everything can be automated and instantly processed.
Proposal – 4 step process.
1. Make a pilot group for Timesheet Tool - Phase 0.
2. Present Excel version against Visual Studio Windows Application version.
3. Take TT to Phase 1 – Release in stages
4. Take TT to Phase 2 – Release in stages
Success Criteria – 100% adoption, nearly 100% automated, near zero FieldGlass
upload errors, total annual time savings > $150K and/or 45 hours a week. Returned
timesheets should be significantly reduced. Validation should take a fraction of the
time, and timesheets should only take a few minutes for those who bill to all projects.
