Task 1: Case Study
Project Background
Following a successful tendering process, subject to final agreement on proposal, your IT software company, known as Software Technologies Enterprise (STE), has been selected to implement a new human resource software system for the regional office of a national company called AAA Services. They have 100 employees in their regional office. If your project plan is successful, it will result in an extension of the rollout of the solution to the organisation nationwide. STE develops and installs human resources (HR) software for many national and global enterprises. STE was selected on these main reasons:
? It had a software solution that could be purchased, and doesn’t need to be developed from scratch but requiring only minor changes.
? Renowned for creating reliable software.
AAA services requested the project objective, requirements, proposal, and budget; manage all aspects of software development, implementation, and rollout. It would also be heavily involved in developing the specifications for the software to ensure AAA Services’ needs are met. AAA Services also indicated that it wanted to receive weekly progress reports and that it is very particular about the quality aspects of the software package.
Project Brief

? Stimulate the project plan control and completion of the HR software which is a Competencies and Skills Audit System for all employees
? Conduct training of all employees for the new software system if required.
System Specification
? The system will record the competencies and skills of staff members who are employed by AAA Services.
? It will be updated automatically when an employee attends an AAA Services training course.
? It must be able to generate reports for managers and project managers about employee skills.
? It must link with PMS (Performance Management System) which is a paper-based system.
? It will record significant projects that the employee works on and the skills gained.
? It will include competencies and skills that employees have gained through external courses and education
? Purchase of software and appropriate licences is expected to cost $5,000
Current system
? Paper-based information on competencies and skills gained on courses exists, but it is not updated regularly.
? Information on competencies and skills gained on projects exists, but it is not regularly updated.
? The PMS system is not related to target competencies and skills.
