There were a number of factors that complicated the achievement of this goal according to schedule. There were more unanticipated questions and requests from vendors that kept pushing the timelines. The project timeline estimation was not very well thought out by the project team. The opportunity for improvement is to develop better project estimation based on this experience and utilize buffering techniques to arrive at more realistic timelines. | | | To ensure the project gets back on track and provide adequate resources to implement the next phase of the project we are requesting $250,000 to hire an ERP implementation consultant to work with our project team and the vendor's implementation partners. This will ensure that all project milestones are met on time and on budget moving forward. |
