Project Problem and Scope Problem Statement/Scope: EXAMPLE: Lower than expected billability, also described as Excessive Bench Capacity, results in chargeability variances and negatively impacts services margins by approximately $100,000,000 per year. 5 DEFINE

Relevant Metrics: (Usually these are associated with quality- effectiveness, efficiency, time or cost.) Improvement Targets: EXAMPLE: 50% reduction in cycle time Increase System Availability from 88% to 98% Operational/Strategic Impact: EXAMPLE: $60,000 improvement to bottom line Business Case 6 DEFINE

Operational and Strategic Impact: Hard Benefits: EXAMPLE: $145k or 1.82 FTE can be delivered in AMP from improved customer contact data. Wasted labor time spent in AMP on finding correct contact data for problem resolution estimated to be 5 min/defect on approx 1656 defects per month or $100k per annum. Wastage of labor in the customer satisfaction survey of 3 mins per defect or $24k per annum. Reduced wastage in billing disputes 15 mins each) or $20k per annum Soft Benefits: EXAMPLE: Improve customer satisfaction from less wrong contacts. Improved service performance through less time loss in tickets including wait time. EXAMPLE of Business Case 7 DEFINE
