This paper aims to analyze the various aspects of project management in an ERP implementation life cycle. It also reviews the role of the project manager, team leader, and other project employees in the implementation of ERP. Project management helps you build a link between your vendor and your employees in order to control and monitor all the activities that are related to the implementation of ERP software. One of the main reasons why an ERP implementation fails is due to lack of project management. It is very important that an organization has the proper planning and involvement in the development of its enterprise resource planning software (ERP) project. This is why it is often necessary to hire an experienced and professional project manager.
