Frequent Project Reviews are Key to SAP Implementation Success
Frequent SAP ASAP project reviews and solution reviews have a direct correlation with increased project success and value achievement. Here are three reasons why:
- Early identification and mitigation of risks: By conducting regular project reviews, potential risks and issues can be identified and addressed early on, before they escalate into bigger problems that could derail the project. This helps to ensure that the project stays on track and is completed on time and within budget.
- Improved communication and collaboration: Project reviews involve all stakeholders, including project managers, developers, and end-users. This helps to improve communication and collaboration between team members, which can lead to better decision-making and more effective problem-solving.
- Continuous improvement: Regular project reviews provide an opportunity to assess progress and identify areas for improvement. This can help to ensure that the project is constantly evolving and adapting to changing business needs, which can ultimately lead to a more successful implementation and greater value achievement.
Proven SAP Methodology Framework
SAP Solutions can often be complex. That is why the SAP ASAP Implementation Methodology as well as the SAP Activate Implementation, include, as part of their risk management approach, periodic project reviews for each phase of a SAP implementation project, including:
- SAP Project Preparation Phase.
- SAP Business Blueprint Phase.
- SAP Realization Phase.
- SAP Final Preparation Phase.
- SAP Go-Live Phase.
ASAP Methodology Framework
The SAP ASAP Methodology Framework has been used to successfully implement SAP ERP in thousands of customer site globally. While every SAP implementation project is unique, the elements that go into a successful project are highly repeatable, and should be followed to ensure you have a successful Go Live.
Examine Your Project Management Practices
The SAP ASAP Methodology (Accelerated SAP), maps directly back to the Project Management Institute's Project Management Practices as detailed in the PMBok, or Project Management Body of Knowledge. A project management review, as opposed to a SAP Solutions Review, takes a look at the key elements of a successful project. It's meant to help your SAP project manager and provide assurance to the project sponsor that the project management practices of the project are being executed as expected.
SAP ERP Implementation Proposal review
One of the key elements we'll look at is your SAP ERP implementation proposal. We'll be looking to see whether it is a feasible implementation plan and whether it contains all the elements of success. It will help ensure we are looking at your SAP Project Management approach as envisioned in your SOW.
Project Management Team
A SAP ASAP based project review looks at both the business processes being performed by your project manager and his wider project management team and at the members of the project management team. While there is wide latitude with the ASAP implementation methodology, it takes both technical expertise and soft skills to succeed. If needed, a project review team can and will provide 'in-the-moment' coaching and mentorship if appropriate.
Business Process Management Governance Framework
A SAP implementation is always a major driver of digital transformation. That means your project will affect your business processes. As your SAP project progresses, whether using the SAP ASAP or SAP Activate methodology, a key element of project management success is change management. A project review will look at the change management plan, including how all stakeholders, including the project team, executive sponsors and all other identified stakeholders, will be impacted by expected changes in their business processes. We'll look at your overall project governance framework, for both business process impacts as well as on the overall organization.
SAP Solution Manager
The SAP ASAP Methodology is meant to work in conjunction with the SAP Solution Manager, a SAP system in and unto itself. It provides both a library of SAP project accelerators, such as checklist, white papers, Best Practices, and a library of test scenarios. It also plays a key role your change and transport management system, and is required for you to easily to receive support from SAP.
