This quote from your post identifies an aggravating factor : "From my point of view, the worst thing has been that many of us are effectively doing two jobs - our normal daily work and the implementation project." At the end you spend hell of time inventing contingency plans that solve problems due to the delayed initial plan (for example, the training of users that you mention).<BR/><BR/>You're right about testing. Testing is critical and can't be avoided. You can't predict in advance what will happen until you have played with the tool long enough, especially for the interactions of all pieces (prices, products, customers, etc).
