PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential

• Executive and Administrative sponsorship at all levels

• Dedicated project team of functional & technical members who could devote a minimum of 75% - 100% of their time to the project

• End users were brought in as subject matter experts (SMEs) to help define requirements and test scenarios

• The project team was well defined at the beginning of the project for roles and responsibilities

• Get quality people on the project, not whoever is available

Project Management Techniques for Successful Upgrades

Page 63

PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential

• Up front planning and organization is key• Have a well defined scope and project plan (key

milestones) before starting actual work to manage scope creep

• Review customization requests on a case-by-case basis, route to post-production if possible

• Allow flexibility in the testing phases/process, you can never have too much testing

Project Management Techniques for Successful Upgrades

Page 64

PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential

• Leveraged PeopleSoft Upgrade Lab• Allowed UVa to perform multiple steps across both HRMS and

FMS/SCM upgrades with a small IT staff

• Without Upgrade Lab would not have been able to maintain production environments at the same time

• Ensured project was completed in a timely fashion

• Estimate lab saved UVa approx. 6 months/2 FTEs to work through Upgrade Assistant

• Reporting/compare reports from lab proved very useful to internal staff not on original implementation

• Reports provided customization documentation used to facilitate fit-gaps

Project Management Techniques for Successful Upgrades

Page 65

PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential

• Try to use as “vanilla” system implementation as possible• Re-examine old customizations before upgrading them, they

might not be needed anymore

• Try to use PeopleSoft delivered business processes where ever possible, adapt your business practices to match PeopleSoft (especially in eRecruit)

Project Management Techniques for Successful Upgrades

Page 66

PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential

• Optimization Efforts• Add new functionality to the core system

• Increase automated processes

• Look at new Peoplesoft modules for possible solutions

• Currently assessing eDevelopment, ePay, eProfile and eBenefits

Feedback on 8.8

• "With Enterprise Financial Management 8.8, PeopleSoft is meeting its commitment to improving the Total Ownership Experience for customers. As one of the pre-release testers, we were able to experience for ourselves the dramatic improvements in the quality, usability, and performance of the software. The look and feel of the system is much more intuitive, which should speed user adoption and reduce training costs.“• John de Rijk, financial systems development manager, P&O Nedlloyd

• "We've been involved extensively in testing PeopleSoft Financial Management 8.8 and are impressed with the intelligence of the applications. With the new release, we will be able to set up the rules so that the bank accounting and reconciliation processes are done automatically. The ability to import and upload bank files automatically in PeopleSoft - without third-party software - should generate significant time and cost savings.“• Steve K.
