Abstract

The objective of project management is to provide a framework in which all types of enterprise resource planning (ERP) application projects can be planned, estimated, controlled, and completed in a consistent manner. ERP application projects are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. The project management concept focuses on the additional discipline needed to ensure that client expectations are clearly defined at the outset of the project and remain visible throughout the project life cycle. Project management also formalizes control mechanisms to help the project team share critical project information and coordinate with external stakeholders. The overall organization of project management is expressed as a process-based methodology, which can be tailored to a project’s specific needs. The five management processes are: 1. Control and reporting 2. Work management 3. Resource management 4. Quality management 5. Configuration management The project management tasks can be divided under the following five categories which constitute the project management life cycle: 1. Project planning 2. Phase planning 3. Phase control 4. Phase completion 5. Project completion
