The phases of SAP Activate provide support throughout the project life cycle of SAP solutions. Underlying these phases is a series of value delivery and quality checks to make sure that the solution, as implemented, delivers the expected value. The diagram below illustrates the phases of SAP Activate Methodology.
SAP implementations and upgrades require a disciplined approach to project management. The SAP Activate methodology aligns with best practices recommended by the Project Management Institute (PMI)*, making it possible to minimize risk, streamline and accelerate the implementation project, and reduce the total cost of implementation or upgrade.
SAP Activate methodology incorporates a standardized work breakdown structure that helps project managers to define and manage project work in a deliverable-oriented, outcome focused manner. It is structured around these key project work streams:
- Project management
