ERP Implementation Project: Documentation, Analysis, and Design

This project documentation outlines the implementation of an ERP system in a retail organization, emphasizing the importance of IT project management and effective work integration. The project aims to improve customer sales and services through innovative technology and efficient information management. Key components include stakeholder analysis, a business case, a project charter, and an organizational structure. The document details the project's scope, dividing it into in-scope and out-of-scope items, including project planning, risk assessment, system design, and operation alignment. A draft stakeholder register identifies and evaluates stakeholders based on their roles, responsibilities, and power/interest. The application of a balanced scorecard is discussed to align functions with project goals. Recommendations for project governance are provided to ensure successful implementation and continuous improvement of operations. The project's success hinges on the effective integration of the ERP system with sales information, streamlining processes, and enhancing overall organizational performance.

2PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Introduction
The project management had been integrated with the formation of the effective
alignment management. The improvement of the innovation technologies would be aligned with
the continuation of the effective alignment management. The analysis of the works would be
implied for developing the project of ERP implementation plan. The integration of the works has
been taken for ensuring that the project would be confided in implementing ERP for retail
organization. The completion of the project has been aligned for improving the scope and
development of effective operations at the organization. The following assignment is helpful for
developing the preliminary information about the project of ERP implementation system. The
document would provide an overview of the project background, scope, and business case. The
stakeholder analysis has been helpful for forming the alignment of the improved work
development. The analysis of the balanced score card is developed for considering the formation
of the effective work alignment.
Project Background
The project would be developed considering the analysis of the IT project management
and utilization of the effective work integration. The ERP implementation plans hold an integral
role for the execution of the works and listing the information management of the activities and
forming the influence of the effective implication works. The retail organization had required the
proper and effective documentation for listing the formation of the customer sales and services.
The implementation of the services have become very important for the organization as it would
allow the attraction of new customers. The present world is characterized by the accurate and
faster services. The organizations have been in need of a process for improving their existing

facilities for meeting the growing demands of the competition. Now a days the customer require
faster and better services in the organization. The innovative technology and factors would be
required for forming the innovation and development. The integration would be dependent on the
formation of the effective work alignment for improved services and delivery. The new ERP
system would help in easing the formation of better services and activities. The implication of
the efficient technology for managing the information about the innovative and cool implication.
The ERP system would integrate the sales information system for forming the effective and
improved operations. The innovation would be helpful for forming the listing of the information
and forming the allocation of the effective work development. The integration of the factors for
deployment would integrated with the significant formation of the operations defining the
improved operations. The improvement of the functions had been aligned with the continuous
improvements of the operations. The integration of the functions would be helpful for providing
the improved work experience. The innovation in ERP technology would allow the
simplification of the work development for the retail organization.
Project Scope
The project of ERP implementation in retail organization would support the integration of
the database and the sales information. It would help in automatically storing the information on
an integrated database using required software. The listing of the activities would be implied
with the formation of the ERP sales information processing. The successive innovation of the
activities using the formation of the operations would be implied with the continuation of the
improved innovation and technology alignment. The project scope would be divided into in
scope and out of scope and for completion of the project, only in scope items of the project
should be considered. The in scope items of the project would include the development of the

4PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
project charter document, project planning, risk assessment, system design, system development,
and operation alignment. The initial analysis of the requirements is required for the development
of the information documents for the project. The integration would be subsequently implied
with the analysis of the effective alignment of the works and deployment management. The
project planning is required for ensuring the formation of the activity scheduling and forming the
management of the works. The risk assessment is done for identifying and developing the risk
mitigation strategies for ensuring the work and formation of the works. The identification of the
work would be developed for forming the utilization of the works for execution. The listing of
the risk factors would be developed so that the alignment of the works can be implied with the
formation of the effective work completion. The designing of the system would be done for
forming a sustainable design of the ERP in accordance with the structure of the organization
development. The new ERP system would help in easing the formation of better services and
activities. The implication of the efficient technology for managing the information about the
innovative and cool implication.
Draft Stakeholder Register
A stakeholder register is a well-structured document for integrating the information of the
stakeholders like name, contact info, roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders, and
power/interest analysis. The process of developing the stakeholder register is explained below,
Identification of the stakeholders: The first step of drafting the stakeholder register is
the development of the list of stakeholders. The implementation of the factors for developing the
successive information management would be implied with the coherent management of the
works. The stakeholders that would be required for the development and execution of the project
works would be done in this step.

5PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Evaluation of the stakeholders: The identified stakeholders would be analyzed in this
step and it would help in identifying the roles and responsibilities of the project stakeholders.
The roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders would be evaluated in this step for forming the
allocation of the specific work completion. The integration would be successfully deployed with
the listing of the operations and integrating work listing.
Power Interest Analysis: The classification of the stakeholders based on the power and
interest role would be done for ensuring the formation of the improved analysis methods. The
power interest analysis would be done for forming the impactful risk register for the project.
