Organization Requirement # 1
Manage the Project Implementation Scope
- Identify what you need and what you can do
- What must be included in the system so we can take orders, ship goods, and meet business requirements?
- What process changes can we include within scope and still meet our implementation target dates?
- Divide the implementation into Phases
- What functionality can we leave “on the table” and pickup as separate project in a later phase?
- Create the expectation of continuous improvement and not just a “one-time” implementation solution
- Limit the amount of software modifications, enhancements, customization
- Mapping your critical business requirements to core software functionality is key
- The more “vanilla” the software installation, the faster the implementation
