Identify and map out key strategic objectives and outcomes expected from the ERP systems.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2. Create a KanBo \"Workspace\" that represents the overarching ERP SAP project.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3. Within the \"Workspace,\" create \"Spaces\" corresponding to different modules or business areas (e.g., finance, procurement, supply chain).<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 2: Designing Process Workflows<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: Translate the high-level strategic objectives into executable workflows.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Clear and well-designed workflows provide a blueprint for consistent and efficient execution of tasks, leading to improved productivity.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1. Construct \"Cards\" within each Space for individual tasks or subprocesses.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2. Customize \"Card\" statuses to reflect the workflow stages of the ERP processes.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3. Adopt a \"Card grouping\" strategy to categorize tasks for easier monitoring and management.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 3: Monitoring Process Execution<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: Keep track of the progression and quality of the ongoing ERP implementation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Real-time monitoring helps in identifying bottlenecks and areas of concern early, ensuring swift remediation actions.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1.
