Assumptions:
1. Estimates are for a business unit within an organization of, say, 120 employees who process about 25
different processes.
2. Business subject matter experts are available when required by ther project team.
3. Project Team comprises a project lead and process analyst who are experts at BPM (business process
improvement).
4. Have only estimated up to the People phase as from this point onwards it becomes too difficult to
generalise. Influencers will include: the level of IT involvement; how quickly the business wishes to implement
the new processes; etc
5. Have assumed that there will only be two scenarios in the Innovate phase, apart from the Quick Win
identification.
6. Costs will be determined as a result of calculation of effort
