The Problem
An Oracle Cloud ERP implementation spanned finance, HR, and procurement workstreams with overlapping risks and no single source of truth. Leadership needed clear readiness signals before each phase gate.

- 02Designed phase-gate readiness criteria and scorecards reviewed by executive sponsors
- 03Created dependency maps between technical, functional, and change-management tracks
- 04Built standardized status reports rolling up to a single executive dashboard
Stakeholders
- ✦Executive sponsors and steering committee
- ✦Oracle implementation partner
- ✦Workstream leads (Finance, HR, Procurement)
- ✦Change management and training
Risks Managed
- !Cross-workstream dependencies missed until late in cutover
- !Decision latency at steering committee
- !Resource contention between BAU and project work
