What's inside
The same handful of mistakes shows up on LIMS projects regardless of the vendor. This guide names the ten I see most often, each with what to do instead: treating vendor selection as a feature-matrix and demo exercise rather than putting your own workflows in front of the vendor, underestimating data migration and the cleansing it takes, skipping the SOP rewrite, letting IT drive requirements without real bench input, treating GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11 validation as something you bolt on at the end, and skipping workflow discovery only to then insist the new system match the old one. It closes on rushed end-user training and the missing plan for post-go-live support, the two places momentum and budget tend to vanish just as analysts hit the edge cases.
