ERP Assurance Framework
A seven-gate review process with 79 evidence-based checks, so your sponsor and steering committee take each big ERP decision against evidence agreed in advance.
Who it's for
- Sponsors and SROs who want to know whether to proceed, not just how the plan is going
- Steering committees that need gates the systems integrator does not run
- Internal audit, risk and PMO teams setting up independent ERP assurance
What's inside
- Seven gates from strategic case (G0) to benefits review (G6), each with the decision it takes
- 79 checks, each with the evidence a reviewer should expect to see
- Exit criteria and the common warning signs that a gate is being passed wrongly
- Four outcomes (proceed, proceed with conditions, hold, stop) and a delivery confidence scale
- Roles, independence rules and a four-week timetable for running a review
- Mapping to SAP Activate, Dynamics 365 Success by Design and Oracle methods
- Findings template and gate decision record
Why from me
ERP programmes rarely fail because the technology cannot do the job. They fail because a few big decisions were taken without evidence, at points where stopping would still have been cheap. These are the gates I use when I am asked for an independent view.
