WBSP897: Scale Growth by Understanding How to Write ERP Project Objectives, an Objective Panel Review
Description
ERP projects rarely fail because of the technology itself. More often, they fail because success was never clearly defined from the outset. Broad objectives such as improving efficiency or modernizing systems may sound compelling, but they frequently result in scope creep, conflicting stakeholder expectations, and disappointing outcomes after go-live. This episode explores why poorly defined business objectives create execution risk throughout the ERP lifecycle and explains why many unsuccessful implementations are ultimately failures of planning and alignment rather than failures of the software. It also provides a practical framework for defining measurable, actionable success criteria before ERP selection and implementation begin, creating a stronger foundation for project execution and long-term business value.
In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ discuss how to write ERP project objectives.
