Human Resource Management Week 7 Assignment – System Development Life Cycle: Phases IV & V – Implementation and Maintenance

Overview

With the justification of an HRIS solidified you need to show your client how you will implement the HRIS using one of the change models discussed in our text. You will also need to explain and justify the cost associated with implementation via a cost-benefit analysis. You want to ensure the system is properly maintained and evaluated for continuous improvement. Therefore, you will include a maintenance and evaluation plan in your proposal.

Instructions

Write a 3-4 page proposal, in which you do the following:

Change Management

• Create a change management plan that discusses system implementation pitfalls, compares change models, justifies the selection of one model, and outlines steps to ensure the model's effectiveness.
  • Discuss the various reasons system implementation fails.
  • Compare various change models.
  • Select a change model to use during system implementation and justify why you selected one model over the others.
  • Provide details of how you will use the selected change model.
  • Explain the various steps that should be included to ensure the change model is effective.

HRIS Implementation

• Create an HRIS implementation plan, including necessary preliminary activities, a timeline, and team member responsibilities.
  • Discuss the activities that are necessary before the system goes live and provide a timeline for these activities.
  • Specify which change management team member will be responsible for each activity and explain their role.

Cost Benefit Analysis

• Analyze the cost benefits of the HRIS vendor you chose during Phase III: Design, and detail the cost justification strategies you will use, including data and documentation.
  • Create a cost-benefit analysis matrix for your chosen HRIS vendor.
  • Describe the cost justification strategies that you will use for the HRIS, including data identifying each benefit and cost component examined, estimated dollar amounts for each estimate point at which the organization will incur each cost and receive each benefit, and documentation justifying each decision you made in listing these benefits.

Maintenance

• Describe how you will ensure that the system is properly maintained and evaluated for continuous improvement.
