Post Go-Live Governance Guide DOCX
ERP_Post_GoLive_Governance_Guide.docx
A best-practice guidance document for client leadership teams addressing the two areas of highest governance risk in the period following ERP go-live: user access and permissions management, and master data governance. It covers the governance principles, practical processes, and minimum control standards needed to prevent the clean access model and data integrity established during implementation from eroding over time under the pressure of day-to-day operations.
For a PM, this document addresses the gap that most implementation projects leave entirely unfilled — the handover from 'project mode' to 'business as usual'. Providing it to a client at go-live demonstrates genuine advisory value rather than simply delivering software, and protects the PM's reputation from being associated with governance failures that occur in the months following a go-live.
