Embarking on an SAP S/4 HANA implementation is a significant undertaking that requires meticulous planning and preparation. Identifying potential red flags before the project kicks off can save time, resources, and headaches down the line.
Here are the top #3 pre-kick-off red flags to watch out for:
#1. Lack of Clear Business Objectives and Scope
Real-World Example:A Fortune 500 retail company faced delays and budget overruns because the project lacked clearly defined business objectives and scope. The absence of a detailed roadmap led to scope creep and misaligned project goals.
Avoidance Tip:Ensure that the project's business objectives and scope are clearly defined and agreed upon by all stakeholders. Develop a detailed project plan that outlines key deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. Regularly review and update the project scope to accommodate any changes or new requirements.
