The most important roles and responsibilities of the project manager on this project during the Implementation phase include Tracking down the project’s progress. This requires the project manager to note how the progress is going on and note improvements, shortcomings, and redundancies. The activities illustrated above essentially allow the project to follow set courses with the stakeholders aware of their responsibilities therein. The project manager also ought to be actively involved in seeking errors in the ERP resource and recommending preliminary solutions and coordinating the resources involved in the project. Error occurrence is common in projects as there may be discrepancies between what was initially envisioned for a project versus the occurrences in actualization. For instance, planning could have factored stability in funding, but financial hitches occurred in the actualization phase.

The principles of resource optimization require project managers to ensure that the maximum possible resources are used while cutting down on redundancies or wastages.

Also, closing the project would help shift the resources initially scheduled for the project to other areas. As such, the management could channel the resources to other areas that they feel would create more value. However, there exist some Cons of closing the project. There is the probability of Future reduced support as the management could be cautious of promoting future projects. Resources redundancy and lack of motivation among the workers initially shortlisted for the project are also likely to occur.
