Whether you are implementing a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software package or developing custom applications, adopting a leading methodology and hiring skilled consultants does not necessarily guarantee success.

Throughout your project, you must stay aligned with organizational objectives and create a mechanism to ensure that control measures are in place to provide visibility into your project’s issues, risks and milestones. Ensuring the success of your initiative requires coordinating organizational change management and process improvements, while ensuring the quality of every deliverable.
