Why Oracle EBS Projects Fail? and How to Fix Them - Part III

8. Lack of Adequate Testing

Problems will always pop up if you haven’t adequately tested not only the completion of your project, but also the use cases of those who will be interacting with the software on a daily and periodic basis moving forward. Be sure to build a test plan that includes both the day-to-day activities and the periodic activities – financial reporting, currency revaluation, patch application, and so forth – so that ongoing product support and success isn’t compromised. Make sure that your testing includes reports, upstream and downstream interfaces, customizations, enhancements, and workflows. Be sure to budget for testing resources in your up-front planning and resource allocations as well.

4. The Right Resources Aren’t Assigned or Available

It’s difficult to participate in a project and also do your regular job. It sometimes seems that a few people in the organization are asked to do everything. Be realistic when assigning people to different project responsibilities and allocating their time, and recognize when external skills would be more efficient even though the cost might be higher. For example, hiring resources for the upgrade to R12 may seem more expensive than having your DBA try to do it internally, but consultants who perform upgrades day-after-day develop a variety of “lessons-learned” and ways to streamline the process. Additionally, it does not make sense to have your internal DBA spend months on learning to do something that he or she will never need to do again. The time could be better spent on other projects.

Why Oracle EBS Projects Fail? and How to Fix Them - Part I

The start of a new year is often a good time to reassess the status of your Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) environment, and how effective its current structure is to your company. As a mission-critical system, considerable time and attention should be devoted to maintaining, improving, and optimizing EBS. While most tasks are relatively routine in nature, sometimes — either due to organizational changes, updates in management and regulatory reporting requirements, or the need to upgrade — a change is needed in your EBS system that requires the initiation of a more complex project.

Even with the best of intentions, planning, and hard work, complex EBS projects can fail for a variety of reasons. Whether you’re planning for an R12 upgrade, completing a post-M&A consolidation, implementing OBIEE or Hyperion, or simplifying your EBS footprint (or more), reviewing and recognizing common Oracle project management failures and their respective best solutions can ensure that your projects succeed in 2016 and beyond.

Here are some specific and common reasons why Oracle projects fail, including advice on how to prevent them in advance.
