After enough projects, a pattern emerges: ERP success is decided by scope discipline, data quality and people, not by the software itself.
Scope creep is the silent killer. A clear, prioritised scope with an explicit change process keeps timelines and budgets intact.
Data is the second pitfall. Garbage in, garbage out, migration and cleansing deserve their own plan, owner and validation gates.
Finally, adoption. The best configuration is worthless if people route around it. Training, change management and involving users early are what make a system stick.
