There can be a wide range of implementation times, depending on the size of the organization and Microsoft Dynamics components being added. For the study, the project lasted 11 months, starting from when Microsoft Dynamics was chosen. This was split into two phases. The first phase consisted of planning, core development, and rollout in the United States. Phase 2 consisted of further rollout to international locations. Both phases are included in the initial period in order to show three full years of related benefits. From the IT teams, there were four FTEs working on the project. This included project management, development, database, infrastructure, and business analyst resources. There was also representation from the various business groups, both functional and geographic. Nine business representatives worked on the project for 30% of the time.
