ERP scope management is one of the biggest drivers of ERP implementation cost, timeline, and risk. Yet many organizations define scope too narrowly. They focus on ERP modules and high-level requirements. However, the real scope also includes business processes, entities, locations, users, data migration, integrations, reports, testing, training, change management, and customizations. Meanwhile, new requirements continue to emerge during implementation. Nice-to-have features become must-haves. Integrations prove more complex than expected. As a result, ERP cost overruns often begin long before implementation starts.

In this webinar, we will explore how to define the right ERP implementation scope before committing to a project baseline. First, we will connect business outcomes to capabilities, processes, requirements, and system scope. Next, we will map the enterprise architecture to determine what belongs inside ERP and what should remain in CRM, HCM, WMS, TMS, MES, PLM, eCommerce, planning, analytics, or other applications. We will also discuss how to separate must-haves from wish lists. Then, we will evaluate when organizations should standardize, configure, extend, integrate, customize, or defer a requirement. Finally, we will explain why a Minimum Viable Go-Live is different from simply pursuing the smallest possible ERP scope.

Attendees will learn how to build a practical ERP scope management framework that protects both business continuity and project economics. We will cover how to prioritize requirements, challenge customizations, define implementation boundaries, and create a phased ERP roadmap without simply postponing complexity. By the end, attendees will have a practical ERP scope management playbook for establishing scope, documenting assumptions and exclusions, controlling change, and reducing the risk of ERP implementation cost overruns.
