Initiation
By Christmas 2000, we needed to understand our project and plan it fully. The Initiation Stage aimed to:
 | Understand all of Unilevers payrolls |
| Determine the solution |
| Have a detailed project definition and plan |
By 1st November 2000, we had achieved the:
| creation of a database documenting over 1,500 pay elements in use across the 44 payrolls, along with details of reports, interfaces etc which would form the basis of our requirements |
| selection of PeopleSoft8 HRMS and Global Payroll as our solution and appointment of PeopleSoft Consulting as our implementation partner |
| full definition of our project with a detailed 'Project Initiation Document' (PID) |
