Solution

Answer:

We are managing an e-mail consolidation and upgrade for our organization. We are focusing on implementing the process of schedule and cost control. We have built the case to present to our stakeholders, along with supporting evidence needed for implementing the process of cost and schedule control.

Plan for control of schedule and cost processes:-Schedule processes and cost processes are the key processes in email consolidation and up gradation work at the organization. Schedule process are basically schedules the work activities as per their order in the email process and cost processes are the costing of each sub processes associated with the email process.

For control these schedule and cost processes, we need to optimize these processes, so that we can save the cost from each process.

Plan for control is to control the schedule process by optimizing the schedule processes to the extent possible. So that the schedule processes will be control and will not affect the delivery/receipt of email of the employees.

Plan for control of the cost processes is to optimize the cost of the sub processes, so that the organization can explore some cost saving opportunities in the processes. These can be worked out with joint review with the technical and functional team of Email software management.

The major provision of the plan is that we will be control the schedule and cost processes in such a way that it will not have much effect to the employee in terms of Email traffic and at the same time we will be saving the cost for the organization.

It will be difficult to implement the plan in the organization, as we will face high resistant from the employee on this change, as it will have some minor impacts to the employees and the employees will not easily accept this change. Generally employees resist each and every change in the organization as any change will have impact on the comfort of the employees, and employee will resist the changes.
