How risky is your ERP project?

A short ~2-minute test with an instant result. Industry data shows most ERP projects end in overruns — the causes are known and measurable.

1. Are your critical business processes documented/standardized?
2. Is there a clear sponsor in top management who owns the project?
3. Has change management (team buy-in, training, transition plan) been planned?
4. Is your existing data (inventory, accounts, products) clean and up to date?
5. Have internal team members been assigned to spend regular time on the project?
6. Is it clear which processes are in scope?
7. Has a realistic budget been set, including licenses + consulting + internal effort?
8. How high is your customization appetite? (How much "our business is different"?)
9. What is your target timeline like?
10. Have you attempted an ERP or major software migration before?

Frequently Asked Questions

About ERP risk

Why do ERP projects fail?
The most common causes: commitments made without measurement, uncleaned data, processes whose real behavior is unknown, and missing executive ownership. Gartner's forecast and McKinsey research indicate roughly 70% of large transformation initiatives miss their goals.
How is the ERP risk score calculated?
In the short self-assessment your answers are weighted across data readiness, process maturity, ownership and scope clarity; it produces a 0–100 risk score, a risk band and your riskiest factors. The score is the same regardless of the test language.
Is the test free? What happens to my data?
The test is free and no contact details are required to see your score; you can optionally leave your details to receive the result by e-mail. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt).
My score is high (risky) — what should I do?
A high score is not a reason to stop the project; it signals the need to measure: take the X-ray of your current state before choosing software — ground the investment decision in evidence with a maturity assessment and scope discovery.
