An ERP implementation represents a complex cross-departmental project that must be carefully controlled. We learned how important it is to use a proper project management method that is flexible enough to adapt to different project sizes but strict enough to guide people to a successful go live. We decided to use the internationally widest spread project management method of the Project Management Institute (PMI) with its five phases:
- Initiating
- Planning
- Executing
- Monitoring & Controlling and
- Closing.
This is exactly what our partner Infor did with OPIM in the past and now does since 2014/15 with the “Infor Deployment Method”. We all agree that the following points reduce implementation risks and are decisive for the success of a project:
- Clearly structured project organization
- Predictive scheduling and control
- Task performance tracking
- Budget planning and control
Grace this approach we manage national and international projects with outstanding success!
