With IT resuming its role as owner of the Station Casinos' implementation of ERP, the following project changes were implemented to get the project on track:

1) In order for the work that has been done over the past year to be retained, the project will continue to replicate the business' current processes, to the maximum extent possible.

2) External resources are being brought in to represent and implement the system from the business perspective and free the existing personnel to go back to their day jobs. One of the issues has been that the business people (accounting and finance, primarily) have had to continue to perform their day-to-day duties while trying to work on the project. Of course, the day-to-day takes priority,

3) The resources working for the current integrator will gradually be replaced with personnel from the original integrator (which has its own challenges) and the two companies will work together to complete the project.

I suspect these changes will be effective, but finishing the project will become a "death march" with everyone focused on getting it done.

Do you think these measures will be effective? If not, what would you do in this situation?
