Hi,

I have recently been tasked to carry out benefits analysis for a pilot implementation of an automated module in an existing legacy system.

Can someone point me to resources or provide suggestions for methodologies for creating a scheme to do this analysis? Pointers to document this study will be of great help too.

Here is what I have been thinking so far (not as scientific but want to be as objective as possible):

1. Understand as-is and to-be scenarios/processes.

2. Create metrics and means to derive them.

3. Understand constraints around those metrics and finalize assumptions.

4. Document-Present.

Thanks!

Deriving costs is where I am stuck. I understand that putting an objective number to COSTs is going to be very difficult unless I talk to all the stakeholders and factor their efforts in the AS-IS scenario in.

Thanks for the direction.
