ERP SAP Implementation in Lahore Development Authority

Abstract

Project Management is all about handling of projects in such a way that by using various tools and techniques resources may be utilized efficiently within stipulated timelines and cost with quality outputs of the projects. We got versatile learning during project management degree where we had opportunity to understand PMI, AGILE and PRINCE2 standards, processes and practices. We were being able to learn various project management tools especially MS Project and Primavera. As mandatory requirement of the degree we have to undertake a project in Primavera as an essential tool for the degree. We were assigned to carry out detail planning, estimation, baseline, costing, resources, and physical progress etc. various projects by using Primavera. ERP Implementation was a difficult project due to certain change management issues and adaptability with new technology and processes. Users were very reluctant to transform from existing orthodox practices to entirely new and modern. technology. However with motivation and dedication of entire project team, it become a success story and project was completed within triple constraint of time, cost and scope. Initially two modules i.e. FICO and HCM were undertaken to implement in LDA as pilot project. Being Public Sector organization, it was an uphill task to make this project acceptable for all stakeholder so that they could get real benefit and value for money. Now after its successful implementation, people are getting benefits from its fast processing with reliable historical record of transactions. Primavera P6 provided us various reports, which were very helpful during the entire life cycle of the project that include but not limited to project total budgeted cost, resources assigned with a particular activity, timelines, critical path, resource histogram, S curve, earned value, physical progress, Cost and schedule variances etc. Various reports are generated, which are evident in this booklet.
