...When trying to figure out what information system is right for your company you must know what steps to take first when doing so. Our organization needs to bring all executives to the table to ensure every work item is addressed for each department as appropriate and clear strategic goals are identified. Now we can come up with a plan that involves a lot of brainstorming that focuses on what our organization needs. Once that is done, all departments and stakeholders, due diligence must be performed to identify any problems areas that need to be resolved before a new system selection is implemented. The last step in this process is simply coming up with an appropriate plan for issue management that can help you resolve any problems that may arise and to help us stay on our feet making targeted progress toward goals for our organization. According to the website http://www.healthcareitnews.com/blog/plan-healthy-system-selection-process, Communication should start day 1. IT staff may advocate for a system that is easiest to manage from a technical standpoint (one that reduces risk of technical error, requires fewer end user staff, or needs less maintenance). Clinical staff may be purely focused on a system that has an interface that is easier to navigate though and is less time consuming compared to the user interfaces of other potential vendors. It is important to identify each department’s agendas and needs prior to beginning the system selection process so that they can be discussed...

...Huntsville Plant Communication Plan The communication plan is an important document for any undertaking. In any relationship, communication is key to its success. When one or more members are not involved in the process, problems begin to form. It may be as simple as a paint scheme, extending a floor several feet more, or can be a major change, such as a site change or requesting more material and labor. The biggest thing that the communication plan brings to a project team is providing a plan in which to mitigate problems and execute the project in the same manner as it is drawn up, thereby ensuring that everyone involved is on the same page. The project communication also outlines the level of involvement in which each person must communicate. As we discussed, communication involves a sender, a medium, and a receiver. For each specific event that we have outlined in our communication plan, there is a plan that clearly defines who the sender is, what medium to transmit that information, and the recipients. The different levels of communication change as the significant impact to the project as a whole will be different. For example, the daily meetings can be done through a teleconference, with all members actively being there and participating. This could be equated to the morning breakfast that you would have with your family. Pleasantries aside, this keeps all members of the team involved and aware of what is going on from a day to day basis. The meeting with the...

...integrate the existing variety of tools in use into a single integrated application. I have received a request from Hugh McCauley to develop an approach to replace the current HRIS.

...Project Communication Plan Jennifer Fournier PM582 June 8, 2014 Carol Locker Project Communication Plan SOFTWARE PACKAGE When it comes to resource management, coordinating data and communication, SharePoint is the way to go. All documents company wide can be stored and can be easily accessed when needed. Communication is a must when it comes to project teams, and with SharePoint a project manager can easily make announcements and pass on information by placing an announcements upon login into SharePoint. This way everyone sees the information first thing. By using the Yammer technology within SharePoint, team members can locate the latest announcements and information as well as chat in real time with other team members. Being able to do so is a great tool for global projects or when an employee is working off site. This makes it it much easier and productive for all parties involved. Keeping a project on schedule is also an important factor when working in project teams. With SharePoint “You can make sure works get done by assigning people tasks that can be tracked and prioritized. And, you can keep an eye on important details with a real-time summary of your project that warns you about delays and keeps next steps and milestones on your radar” (SharePoint, 2013). SharePoint also tracks and keeps a log of every change done to a document that is stored within its site. Instead of multiple team members working on a document and saving multiple versions, each...

...Project Management Plan Horace Bethea, Nicole Brown, Eric Cornick, Robin Evans, and Kristi Longstreet CPMGT/301 November 19, 2012 Steven Chardon-Strunk Project Management Plan Because of strict accreditation regulations and laws related to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 for institutions offering federal financial aid, an organization cannot offer traditional sales bonuses for employees who enroll students. Recently there has been a decline in employee morale. Senior management thinks that a new employee incentive program may boost employee morale (University of Phoenix, 2012, para. 3). This paper will include the work breakdown structure, activities, the sequenced activity diagram, a human resources plan, and a communication plan. The communication methods identified in the communication plan will be evaluated by identifying the communication tools and techniques most effective for the audience, and an explanation of why the methods of communication identified are most effective. The objective to this project management planning process is to successfully implement an employee incentive program within the university to boost employee morale that has declined because of the changes in compensation structure. Although the university cannot control what laws and regulations are changed governing federal financial aid, the university must abide by the changes to keep their accreditation. The university...
