Project methodology

Anaptis GmbH relies on its own project methodology for ERP projects, which combines traditional project management approaches with agile methods such as Scrum. ERP projects are not viewed solely as technology projects, but rather as an interplay of people, processes, and technologies.

The project methodology begins with an initial workshop or prologue, based on which a rough concept and a proposal are developed. Once the project is commissioned, it kicks off with an executive briefing between the responsible parties on the client and vendor sides, followed by a joint kickoff meeting.

Implementation then proceeds in several four-week iterative project phases (Sprints). Each Sprint includes task and budget planning, the implementation of requirements, and a review meeting to assess the quality of the results. Change requests and new insights can be continuously incorporated into further planning.

Once the implementation phases are complete, the integration phase begins, which includes integration, performance, and load testing. This is followed by the system’s Go-Live. A structured feedback phase is scheduled for the period following the Go-Live, as new requirements and opportunities for optimization often only become apparent during actual use.

Even after the Go-Live, anaptis GmbH remains available as a long-term partner for support, further development, and training. A key feature of the methodology is the close collaboration between the client company and the project team, with the active participation of key users and business departments considered a critical success factor.
