Waterfall was the standard approach for ERP implementations: extensive planning, rigid timelines, and final delivery after months of execution. This method worked well in stable environments, but modern ERP projects—especially with cloud-based platforms like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central—require speed, flexibility, and continuous adaptation.
Agile project management addresses this need. It delivers value in short sprints, involves users early, and allows for ongoing validation and improvement. In a platform like Business Central, which evolves monthly and supports rapid configuration, Agile is no longer a preference—it is a necessity.
Copilot adds another layer of intelligence to this process. Integrated into Project Operations and Business Central, Copilot uses AI to predict delays, identify risks, optimize schedules, and recommend task reallocations. It acts as a proactive, data-driven project assistant that enhances planning and execution at every step.
Fênix Consulting recently led a multi-site Microsoft Business Central ERP rollout using Agile methodology combined with Copilot automation. Results: 40% cheaper & 50% faster. Copilot provided real-time progress updates, early risk alerts, and AI-driven insights that optimized training schedules and prevented bottlenecks in key phases such as data migration and user acceptance testing.
Session will present the the case and demonstrate how Agile and Copilot are transforming Business Central implementations.
