The wanted scope is often the same as for a large enterprise, with the same type of roles, processes and functionality - but with fewer people. This means that almost the same implementation job needs to be done – but with less resources. When planning for an PLM solution in a small/midsize company we recommend you to:
1) Think big, start small.
2) Go for standard out-of-the box solutions
3) Get acceptance for scope and budget
4) Give the project group authority to take decisions
5) Recruit a dedicated project manager
6) After project end, start handling change request instead
