Tanya Last joins the Comparesoft ERP Podcast to explain how an ERP project manager keeps large-scale ERP programs on track from early delivery through to post-go-live stabilisation.

Drawing on around 15 years of leading ERP and wider transformation programmes, particularly in complex public sector environments, Tanya breaks down what the ERP project manager role actually involves in practice and why successful ERP delivery depends on much more than technology. She explores the realities of governance, decision-making, change management, delivery discipline, and how to spot when a programme is starting to drift before it becomes a bigger problem.

In this episode, Tanya talks about:

• What an ERP project manager actually does in practice
• Where the role begins across the ERP lifecycle
• The most common reason large-scale ERP programs derail
• What to tighten first when ERP delivery starts to feel loose
• How to judge whether an organisation is truly ready to go live
• What to measure after go-live to know ERP has really landed
• Tanya's key advice for first-time ERP project managers
