How is the traditional ERP life cycle different from the traditional SDLC?
What will be an ideal response?
The ERP project team is formed differently than in the SDLC with members drawn from every functional area. ERP projects also focus more on the processes of the business and less on individual system functions. Since ERP systems are usually built on top of existing ERP vendor packages the focus is also on customizing the existing software rather than on programming new applications. To keep the project on track, ERP projects need to have strong commitment from top management. This commitment also extends to supporting special change management initiatives to get the most out of the new system.
