ERP project governance defines who makes decisions, how escalations work, and how scope is controlled. Without it, even well-run implementations derail.

The Steering Committee

A steering committee of senior leaders — CEO, CFO, operations head — should meet bi-weekly during implementation. Their role is not operational oversight but strategic decision-making on scope, priority, and risk.

The Project Manager Role

Every ERP project needs a single, accountable project manager from the client side. This is not the IT manager — it's typically the COO or a senior operations leader with authority to make decisions.

Change Request Management

Every request to add features or change scope after sign-off must go through a formal change request process. This prevents scope creep and protects both timeline and budget.

Escalation Paths

Define escalation paths before you start. When a project issue isn't resolved in 48 hours, it escalates to whom? When a vendor misses a deadline, who is notified and what happens?
