Analyze Hr System – Final

Along with interviewing, it would be beneficial to hold a JAD (Joint Application development) session with the stakeholders so everyone may come together and share their opinions and knowledge of the system. While a JAD session may have high costs, the benefits of a JAD session are very high as the session enables analysts, developers and the stakeholders to come together and work towards the design of the new system. Bringing all the users in a room together helps the analysts and developers greatly understand the needs of the new system as discussed

The part of the job of the analyst in identifying a business need that looks interesting and enjoyable to me would be engaging the stakeholders (organization management, sponsors/champions, and system users among other stakeholders) in identifying the various business requirements. This, in my view, is one of the crucial areas because it would allow me as an analyst to understanding the state of an existing system and determine how a new system would impact on the business performance of an organization. Without a clear picture of the business requirements, there is a high likelihood that a new system would not bring the anticipated results. I would use my interviewing skills to get the different perspectives of the stakeholders as an initial step in system development. It is clear to me that interviewing, as a method of gathering business requirements, is sometimes cumbersome and time consuming. However, I am of the view that with the right skills in conducting interviews, an analyst can be able to probe deeper on issues and challenges of an existing system and the specifications that a new system is expected to meet. I would achieve this through conducting individual interviews, joint interviews as well as forming focus groups.

In our quest to ever better ourselves the IT department, of Riordan Manufacturing, is submitting this Request for Proposal to integrate a more sophisticated, state-of-the art, information systems technology in our Human Resources department. Riordan Manufacturing has always strived to better ourselves by keeping up with technology in all of our operating systems and our manufacturing systems. Our goal is to remain at the forefront of the manufacturing community as we keep leading the way in all of our business systems and, at the same time, keeping the feel of a customer friendly company. We want to make

Another way of successfully gathering information is by building a prototype or model of the system, so that users can test or get an idea of what the finished product will be like. With this they can determine issues, problems, or inconsistency with the system. Another important part of gathering information is organizing it so that it can be understood and put to proper use. I propose categorizing the requirements into functional requirements, operational requirements, technical requirements, and transitional requirements. The functional requirements define how the user thinks the system is functioning overall, the operational requirements define what background processes need to be executed in order for the system to work optimally over a period of time, the technical requirements define what technical issues that must be addressed in order to successfully implement the system, and the transitional requirements define the processes or steps needed to implement the system smoothly and successfully.

The commonly used methods of observation, interviews, etc., can help analysts pinpoint exact requirements based on user input and business processes. According to Charvat (2003), “One of the biggest benefits of a proper user requirements specification is that you'll be able to plan and estimate your project correctly, decreasing the chance of cost and time overruns.” The analyst must listen to the employees and gain a thorough understanding of all business processes before establishing the new system requirements.

The COO of Riordan manufacturing Hugh McCauley would like to combine the existing variety of tools in use into a single multi integrated application. Riordan Manufacturing wants to take advantage of the more sophisticated state of the art information systems that has already existed in the human resources department (Riordan Manufacturing, 2006). The information gathered in this document the information gathering techniques and the very sophisticated planned design methods that will be used and explained in great detail. The requirements for the business and the Human resources systems are to maintain the objectives of this request. That

Riordan Manufacturing is a company looking to upgrade their HR System. Their HR System is out of date and needs to improve its usefulness and effectiveness. Based on the Service Request SR-rm-004, this paper will prepare and describe information-gathering techniques and design methods for the Riordan Manufacturing HR System project. This paper will also identify key factors that will help ensure information for the project is gathered. The paper will also explain the scope and feasibility of the project. Finally, this paper will design and implement a new HR system for Riordan Manufacturing.

The implementation portion of the Riordan project could in fact, prove to be one of the most challenging parts. However, this could be the part that is worth all of the effort. There will have to be a team of experienced developers in various different Information Technology fields to see the implementation portion stage through to completion; this cannot be known as a “one-man show.” Several of the departments within the Riordan organization will have to be given priorities when it comes to implementing the new human resource management system. Since this type of system has been deemed automated and is on an Information Technology platform, the

The system champion will be responsible for leading the team and that particular team will come together and determine the expectations of the project while creating a project plan. The assembled team must get a list together of goals needed to accomplish within the new system and access the way these goals are going to be accomplished. The goal of the information system is to process and store data while keeping information safe and secure for the organization and within this process the important goals need to be understood by all members of the team, and implemented within the system. There are surveys given to the implementation team, and staff members so that the goals are identified by the importance it holds and will play within the process. Once the goals are determined the team is ready to find a vendor who fits the requirements by creating a list of all vendors to send a request for a proposal to the chosen vendors. The only time an organization accepts a request from the chosen vendors is when and if they are willing to do a demonstration for the staff and team members on the site. This on-site demonstration will help the staff to have a better understanding of the system while making an informed decision based on the information presented. This demonstration will also help the implementation team decide which vendor produces the better system while meeting the

One significant issue in the industry is motivating its workforce to continuously keep pace with the ever growing technology in this field and allowing them to gain competitive edge in their business (Intelligent Spas, 2011). Motivating the 21ST century workforce for the new global economy falls into the responsibility of Human Resource Department. At present, there are three fundamental HR models, namely, (1) universalistic, (2) contingency and (3) configurational methods. Of late, the later two strategies have been renamed as (1) best practice and (2) best fit, correspondingly. This paper discusses the later two HR models as researchers believe that these models propose the solution for motivating the workforce for the new global economy.

Visual tools and involving stakeholders in the software helps in gathering requirements, verbal communication, WBS and resource allocation can be managed by the software.

The requirements gathering and analysis phase is the most critical phase for the overall success of the project because this phase helps “identify and capture stakeholder requirements using customer interviews and surveys” (Smith, 2016). In order to successfully capture software requirements from the stakeholder, developers need to conduct conference meetings to understand the capabilities of the software. This conference meeting usually takes place only once, so it is essential that developers collect all the information required for the software during the elicitation requirement meeting. For developers to be successful in collecting all the required information, it is a

Oman is the second largest country in size as well as population in the Arabian Peninsula. The country is 309,000sq.m. Similar to other nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the main contributors to the Oman economy are oil and gas. Oxford Business Group (2015), reports that oil and gas contribute to around 50% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (OXFORD BUSINESS GROUP 2015, P.2). With the oil prices slumping in the recent past, the country’s economy has made up for the decline by facilitating private investments. In 2013 and 2014, a rise in private investment and public investment expanded Oman’s economy from 78.3bn to 80.57bn (OXFORD BUSINESS GROUP 2015, P.2).
