Endtoendprojekt

Endtoendprojekt, or end-to-end project, is a project management concept that covers the full lifecycle of a process or system, from initial concept to final delivery and ongoing operation. The aim is to coordinate all steps, stakeholders, and technologies to deliver a seamless value stream rather than optimize isolated components. Typical scope includes requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, integration, monitoring, and maintenance across multiple systems or departments.

Characteristics include cross-functional teams, end-to-end ownership, process mapping, and governance. It emphasizes minimizing handoffs, ensuring data continuity, and establishing common standards and interfaces.

Approach and methods rely on hybrid or agile practices. It uses end-to-end process mapping, business process reengineering, and continuous integration and delivery, along with data governance, security considerations, and stakeholder alignment across business and IT.

Benefits include shorter cycle times, improved customer experience, better visibility and traceability, higher quality, and easier change management. Challenges include managing complexity, aligning incentives across units, scope creep, and ensuring consistent data across systems.

Examples of endtoendprojekt activity include a digital order-to-cash transformation, a supply chain visibility platform, or an enterprise-wide CRM and ERP integration.
