Project statement of work, purpose, or justification:
Rate of late submission of time sheets rose up by 20%.
This maybe because people has got lazy, maybe they have a high work lload, so it maybe possible that they are not able to take out enough time for each task of their job.
Business Case:
The Project is worth taking doing now only because this can have impact on employees and workers remuneration as if the manager won't know that how much time has been spent by a worker on each task, how will they provide wages. Also at the time of performance appraisal , this can be a hinderance. Also it can cost the firm a bizillion dollars for not checking mails on time.
Agreement, Assumptions and constraints:
Assumption may be that, i) I will get resources when required. ii) The number of employees was consant in the earlier months. iii) I will get full support of employees.
Constraints: i) The time to collect time sheets is not very much. ii) This delay in the submission of timesheets might increase.
Initial Requirement:
i) The list of task each employee does, every day. ii)The information about salary each employee get. iii) The information about time given for completing the timesheets.
The reasons for the late timesheets:
i) Too much workload ii) Less time for submission of the timesheets. iii) Employees not getting paid for overtime work.
