HR 8.9 Timekeeping Testing Results [02/26/07]
During January 2007, HR System “power users” were assembled as a representative sample of Timekeepers to evaluate new functionality from the forthcoming upgrade to HR System version 8.9.
After this testing session, the participants completed a survey about their experience and provided feedback. This feedback is summarized below for the benefit of other HR Timekeepers.
Respondents gave high marks for the following areas on a 5 point scale:
The testers were more neutral about the impact of changes to the Time Entry page, responding with a 3.65 on the 5 point scale.
Additional free-form comments provided by the participants include:
- “Love seeing the full pay period at once, even if we have to scroll.”
- “The “Previous” and “Next” Time Period and Employee features are a nice enhancement.
- “Other new features seem nice, but I can’t immediately gauge the benefit.”
Also in the free-form comments was the discovery of an improvement opportunity. Some respondents requested that employee data have a sort by last name instead of first name option. This improvement is being taken under consideration by the business sponsor areas.
The efforts of the testers for the Timekeeping module were extremely appreciated by the project team. Their positive comments and suggestions will help make sure that the Timekeeping module in HR v8.9 is well-received by the user community. Thanks again to the Timekeeping testing group.
