Projects from another perspective
“An estimated 68% of corporate IT projects are neither on time nor budget, and they don’t deliver the originally stated business goals. Some even claim that during the last two years, $100 billion to $150 billion of U.S. IT projects have failed altogether.”
Mark Jeffery and Ingmar Leliveld: Best Practices in IT Portfolio Management, MITSloan Management Review, Spring 2004

Ingredients of Success
Adequate budget including training, documentation and conversion.
Alignment with Business Goals: The strategic objectives of the program should be in
alignment with organization’s business goals.
Clear and concise Deliverables
End-User Involvement People need to be involved from beginning to end.
Top-down control without bottom-up involvement is a recipe for disaster.
Adequate Training: Training is not an expense; it is investment in human
resource.
Change Management: When changes are prepared for and introduced
gradually, it does not make people insecure and resentful; it turns them into advocates

Typical questions when you starting the project
How to best use selectedsolution capabilities?
Do we have internal capabilities
and capacity tostaff the project?
How and where do we start?
Who does whatin this project?
How expensive will this project be? How
do we keep the costs low?
How to manageproject and business
risks involved?
How do we assure success?
How to buildinternal
expertise?

Delivering Successful Solutions
AcceleratedSAP Methodology
Description
Accelerated SAP (ASAP) is SAP's standard implementation methodology. It contains the Roadmap, a step-by-step guide that incorporates experience from many years of implementing R/3.
Accelerated SAP contains a multitude of tools, accelerators and useful information to assist all team members in implementing R/3. Quality checks are incorporated at the end of each phase to easily monitor deliverables and critical success factors.

Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Goal Setting Define project goals & objectives
Implementation strategy 1.Clarify the scope of implementation 2.Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign
resources
Implementation Sequence Define sequence in project has to be
executed
Team Core team+ project team+
consultant team
Sign Off At the end of phase every above steps will be documented & will be signed off
with the client
During this phase the team goes through initial planning and preparation for SAP project.

Project Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project. Although each SAP project has its own unique objectives, scope, and priorities; the steps in Phase 1 help you to identify and plan the primary focus areas that need to be considered.

Phase 2 : Business Blueprint
SCOPE DOCUMENTThis document will consists of
questionnaire of entire business
process
AS IS 1.Understanding the business Process
from the core team. 2.Based on the input ASIS document has to be created
according to module wise
TO BE 1.In this process will map the business
process in SAP based on ASIS 2.Module wise TOBE document has to
be created
GAP ANALYSIS 1.The GAP b/w ASIS process & TOBE process
is called GAP analysis ie., The inputs or the business process which can’t mapped into
standard SAP will be analyzed here 2.GAP document has to be created
SIGN OFF Each process above has to be
taken sign off from client
The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run SAP to support their business. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops.

Business Blueprint
The purpose of this phase is to create the Business Blueprint, which is detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. Furthermore, the Business Blueprint documents the business process requirements of the company. With this, you can better understand how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System

Phase 3 : Realization
BaselineMajor scope
Final ConfigurationRemaining scope
SIGN OFF Each process above has to be
taken sign off from client
The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope).
Page 12
Realization
The purpose of this phase is to implement business and process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The objectives are final implementation in the system, an overall test, and the release of the system for production (live) operation. In addition, the project team receives relevant knowledge.

Phase 4 : Final Preparation
Unit Testing Testing within each module
Integration TestingIntegrate testing of modules ie.,
combine testing of all the modules
User Training
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
Cut over Strategy legacy system will be migrated to
SAP system.

Final Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cut-over activities), to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all crucial open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.

Phase 5 : Go Live & Support
Production Support
Monitor System Transactions
Optimize Performance
The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.

Go Live and Support
The purpose of this phase is to cut over to live productive operation and to continuously support and improve live operations
