  1. What is the primary risk of excessive ERP customization?

    Answer: Difficulty upgrading to future ERP versions

    Heavy customization creates technical debt that can break during vendor upgrades, making future version transitions extremely costly and complex.

  2. In ERP implementation, what does a 'fit-gap analysis' produce?

    Answer: A comparison of ERP standard functionality against business requirements

    Fit-gap analysis identifies where the ERP natively supports business requirements (fit) and where gaps exist that require configuration, customization, or process change.

  3. Which type of ERP testing validates that a new module does not break existing configured functionality?

    Answer: Regression testing

    Regression testing re-runs previously passing test cases after changes to confirm no previously working functionality has been broken.

  4. What is the purpose of a 'cutover plan' in ERP implementation?

    Answer: Detail the step-by-step activities to transition from legacy to the new ERP

    A cutover plan is a detailed checklist of sequenced tasks—data loads, system checks, go/no-go decisions—executed during the final transition weekend.

  5. A company is implementing ERP across five subsidiaries. They go live with one subsidiary first to reduce risk. This is an example of which strategy?

    Answer: Phased geographic rollout

    A phased geographic rollout deploys the ERP to one location or subsidiary at a time, using each wave as a learning opportunity before the next.

  6. Which stakeholder group is most critical to involve during the blueprint or design phase of an ERP implementation?

    Answer: Key business process owners and subject matter experts

    Business process owners and SMEs provide the detailed process knowledge needed to configure the ERP correctly and validate design decisions.

  7. What does 'conference room pilot' (CRP) mean in ERP implementation?

    Answer: A mock end-to-end walkthrough of business processes using the configured ERP

    A CRP is a structured simulation where business users walk through real scenarios in the configured system to validate design before broader rollout.
