Assigning the right project team is critical to the success of your implementation. Not only do you need to work out what roles are required, but also the time commitment required for each of these roles. To help, we have outlined the key Client roles and responsibilities we find to help make implementation go smoothly, as well as estimated time commitments.

What time commitment is required?

We understand that people still have their day-to-day responsibilities to perform when working on projects such as system implementation. Throughout the project stages, time requirements will vary.

For Enterprise implementations, during the User Acceptance Testing period, time requirements see an increase as you test your solution end to end.

An estimated* time effort for the key Enterprise implementation roles is outlined below:

• Superuser: approximately 2 days per week
• Project Manager: approximately 3 hours per week
• Project sponsor: 1 hour per week
• Change Manager: 1 - 2 hours per week
• Technical Integration/SSO/HRIS expert: approximately 10 - 20 hours for the life of the project
• Website resource: approximately 10 - 15 hours for the life of the project

*Please note these are estimates only. The modules you are implementing, along with the size and complexity of your organisation, mean these durations may vary. Use them as a starting point to conduct your own resource estimation.
