Your Questions Answered
How big should my ERP implementation team be?
It depends on the size and complexity of your organization, but most teams include 6–10 core members across IT, finance, operations, and leadership. This guide helps you identify the right roles—not just the right number.
Do I need a dedicated project manager for ERP implementation?
Yes. A dedicated project manager is critical to keeping the implementation on track, managing timelines, and coordinating across departments. This role is often the difference between a smooth rollout and a stalled project.
What if my team doesn’t have ERP experience?
That’s okay. This guide outlines the key responsibilities for each role and offers tips for onboarding and training team members—even if they’re new to ERP.
Can I outsource parts of my ERP implementation team?
Yes, and many companies do. The guide explains which roles are best kept in-house and which can be supported by external consultants or partners.
How early should I start building my team?
Ideally, before you even select your ERP system. A strong team helps you evaluate vendors, define requirements, and avoid costly missteps from day one.
