Must-Have Features for MVP
Objective Compiler: NLP maps OKRs to ERP modules, processes, and required configurations
Outcome Contract: auto-generated scope, KPIs, and non-negotiables that sync to DevOps tools

Scenario Planner: capacity and dependency simulations with ROI impact estimates
Benefits Tracker: pulls ERP telemetry (cycle time, error rates) to show KPI movement vs. plan
Stakeholder Heatmap: identifies objective conflicts across departments
Executive Decision Ledger: captures deviations and rationale for auditability
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Executive alignment and access to strategic documents
- Mapping OKRs to ERP module capabilities with enough granularity
- Change fatigue from introducing governance artifacts
- Integration with PM tools and ERP config repositories
Risk Level: Low
