Overview
Stages
ERP programmes are typically divided into a series of defined stages, with progress between them controlled through stage gates. These gates provide a formal checkpoint to confirm that the essential activities, decisions and deliverables needed to proceed have been completed.
The four stages are:
-
Procure: Select and procure the technology and implementation partners needed to deliver the programme.
-
Define: Establish what will be delivered and agree how the solution will be designed and implemented.
-
Deliver: Build, configure and test the solution, while preparing the organisation for deployment.
-
Deploy: Transition to the new solution, go live and establish it in operation.
