FAQs

What are the biggest risks to our HR Tech project?

Key risks to an HR tech implementation include under-resourcing, ineffective project governance, and a lack of executive sponsorship—all of which can derail progress and decision-making. Poor planning, underestimating the change management effort, and misalignment on future-state business processes further increase the likelihood of delays, cost overruns, and a solution that fails to meet business needs.

What resources do I need on the client-side team for an HR tech project?

A strong client-side project team is one of the most important predictors of HR tech project success. Key roles include the Executive Sponsor, Client-Side Project Manager, Business Analyst, Change Manager, Technical Leads and subject-matter experts. Each plays a unique role in steering transformation. For a full breakdown, see Meet your Dream Team: 8 roles that define Cloud HR project success

Is one of our internal HR staff enough to manage the project?

Not usually. Expecting internal HR staff to juggle BAU with full time project responsibilities can lead to burnout and compromised outcomes. A skilled PM brings focus, structure, and risk mitigation to the role.

Do we really need a Business Analyst on the client side?

Yes, and ideally one embedded in your team. A client-side Business Analyst ensures alignment between your organisation’s needs and what vendors deliver. Minimising rework, missed requirements, and costly scope creep. They become the connective tissue between your vision, vendor promises, and operational reality.

What’s the difference between a project manager and a business analyst in HR tech projects?

The project manager drives timelines, governance, and stakeholder engagement, while the business analyst ensures solution alignment to business needs. Both roles are essential for a successful HRIS implementation. Explore the BA role here.

What are the hidden costs with HR Tech implementations?

Hidden costs in an HR tech implementation often fall into two key areas. First, internal resources are required not just to help design and configure the system, but also to lead change management, communications, and training. All activities that are frequently underestimated. Second, when the initial evaluation and scoping phases are rushed or incomplete, additional functionality and effort often emerge mid-project, driving unplanned costs and extending timelines. Proper planning and realistic resourcing are essential to avoid these costly surprises.

What are common pitfalls in HR tech projects without a client-side PM?

Projects without a dedicated PM often suffer from unclear scope, poor resource management, delayed decisions, and lack of ownership. This can erode confidence, stall projects, blowout budgets and derail transformation goals.
