PMBOK identifies nine knowledge areas on which project
management is based. These are as follows: Integration management: setting up a full time team who can understand what is expected from them. Preparedness is crucial but is often missing. Cost management: Total cost of implementing ERP system includes cost of licensing , training, implementation, maintenance , customization, and hardware requirements etc. Like most software ERPs are priced on the functionality of the system and number of users who will access it Communication management: The higher the levels of communication and interaction in the implementation team , higher is performance of the team
Quality management: means the system has been implemented
in an efficient way and the objectives are met HR management: to assemble the best possible team to plan, execute and control the project. Top management must be visible in their commitment to the project. Team morale is vital component for the success of the project Scope management: 90% of ERP implementation end up over time and over budget due to among other factors, changes in project scope. A lack of understanding of the scope of the system may result in conflict between logic of the system and the logic of the business
Time management: The length of implementation time is
greatly affected by the scope of the project, i.e. more activity regarding modules, sites and functions means a longer process. Procurement management: When selecting the package, it is critical to get vendors to state the extent to which their products will meet each requirement. Risk management: to succeed the organization should have a risk mitigation plan
Have a clear, simple corporate vision and objective
Have a group dedicated to business process improvements
Have successful project managers who are capable of
anticipating what can go wrong
Make business objectives the primary drivers of the project
Make sure that data cleansing is addressed as part of the
project
Planning, constant monitoring and taking corrective actions
before the project gets out of control will ensure the success of the project. The key players in the project monitoring are the project management team and the executive committee. One of the main roles of the members of the executive committee is project monitoring that is to check and verify that the work being done is satisfactory Before implementation starts the consultants and the company representatives will sit together and prepare a work plan or project plan
