Based on the primary author’s in-depth experience in ERP implementations, predominantly This paper presents a Work Breakdown Structure SAP, she recognizes that some project methodologies (WBS) for a phased implementation of an Enterprise are not detailed enough. Regardless of how effective Resource Planning (ERP) solution. The key activities a methodology may appear, should it lack the relevant that constitute an ERP implementation project are detail, the project in question may not yield the discerned in detail, each in its entirety. Each activity anticipated success. In order to achieve a successful illustrates the tasks required to fulfill each part of a implementation, this paper proposes the use of a work project. The potential challenges that are usually breakdown structure (WBS) to guide an ERP project. encountered in every selected activity are discussed. Finally, using a WBS to cost an ERP project is A Work Breakdown Structure is a project proposed. ma
