The Benefits of Documenting Business Operations Flows throughout ERP Development

 Usually, this phase of the project resulted in a collection of design documents that needed to be approved by the company before system development could begin. Many ERP projects in recent years have used an iterative design/build approach based on agile principles throughout this phase, which will be decided to require several kinds of client sign-off.

We've noticed that even after design approval, there is frequently a lack of understanding of how the new ERP system will work, at least outside of the core project team, in many ERP projects. We feel there is a compelling case for dedicating time and effort to describing the new architecture as swim lane-based business process flows.

Positive business communication

One issue in ERP design procedures is that business stakeholders who are not directly involved in the project sometimes fail to grasp how the new system will operate. This is a significant issue when those same stakeholders are required to approve the designs. End-to-end process flow diagrams that are well-documented bring the new design to life and help people comprehend how business processes will function in the future.

Better project team comprehension

The activity of creating process flow diagrams pushes the ERP project team to think deeply about how the various business processes will function in the future. The connectivity to systems and processes that may exist outside of the ERP is included. Building the process flows, in our experience, will occasionally reveal aspects that were overlooked throughout the design phase.

Improved management methodology

Since process flow diagrams assist the business in better understanding how processes will alter in the future, they are also extremely useful in recognizing the effects that the new scheme and processes will have on existing positions in the organization. This is especially true when the new design will result in business process automation or activity centralization, or when new procedures are needed.

Faster efficient training

One of the final and most crucial elements in the ERP deployment process is user training. For training to be truly effective, it is critical to have high-quality training materials that connect the many aspects of the system to process steps that users can recognize. Documented business process flows serve as a structure and context for developing training materials and delivering training to users.
