The company performs a rigorous ROI process before software projects are approved. The chief people officer (CPO) is adamant that she needs tools for talent acquisition, compensation management, payroll, and employee development. As we know, it's hard to associate a revenue increase with this software. Costs will go up compared to their current business processes using spreadsheets and email as their primary tools. The parking garage doesn't go through the ROI process. Nobody likes to park a mile away and ride a shuttle bus back and forth. It's clearly needed.

The CFO wants estimates. The parking garage estimate is detailed and easy to understand. It includes tangible tasks such as excavation, framing, concrete, and painting. The HR project documentation is riddled with obscure jargon. The CIO is reluctant to give an estimate or a completion date for the HR project, stating that he doesn't even know what the requirements are yet.

The decision is made to complete both the parking garage and the HR software projects. Both projects complete on the same day.
