The document describes the ASAP Roadmap, which provides guidance through five phases of an SAP implementation project: 1) Project Preparation, 2) Business Blueprint, 3) Realization, 4) Final Preparation, and 5) Go-Live and Support. It outlines key activities in each phase, including initial planning, configuring business processes, user acceptance testing, training, go-live, and post go-live support. The roadmap is intended to guide implementations with a clear, process-oriented plan.

- 5. ASAP Roadmap is aimed at providing step-by-step direction and guidance throughout the project implementation by providing a process-oriented, clear and concise project plan. The roadmap meanders through the following milestones or phases in the project implementation lifecycle: I. Project preparation II. Business blueprint III. Realization IV. Final preparation V. Go-live, support, and continuous improvement ASAP Roadmap is aimed at providing step-by-step direction and guidance throughout the project implementation by providing a process-oriented, clear and concise project plan.

- 6. Project Preparation is the first and initial phase of the ASAP roadmap where you are just starting the project. You will perform activities such as preparation of the initial scope, high-level timelines and plans, project charters, identification of project team members, project kick-off, etc. Project Preparation
- 8. Realization is the third phase where the implementing team breaks down the business processes identified in the second phase and configures the SAP settings. Initially, you will do a Baseline Configuration test the system functionality and if necessary make changes to the baseline configuration, and close the phase with Final Configuration signalling that all the business processes have been captured and configured in the system. Realization
- 9. Final Preparation is the penultimate phase in the project. This phase also serves to resolve all crucial open issues. A ‘go-live check’ is also conducted to analyze whether the system has been properly configured. This phase is marked by the following activities: End-to-testing of the configured system (User Acceptance Test—UAT) Training of the end users (Usually follows the concept ‘Train-the-Trainer’) System management activities (creation of users, user profiles, allocation of roles to profiles, etc.) Cut-over (data migration activities) An ‘internal help desk’ should be staffed and supported mainly by employees of the enterprise. Setting up a help desk involves, among other things, installing office and technical equipment and defining OSS users. Problems that cannot be solved by this internal help desk are forwarded to SAP via the SAPNet/OSS system. On Successful Completion Of This Phase, You Are Ready To Run Your Business In Your Production System. Final Preparation
- 10. GO LIVE AND SUPPORT is the final and fifth phase of the project where the configured system is declared ‘live’ for day-to-day business use. Users make productive (live) business transactions in the system and all the issues cropping up in the wake of going live are supported and resolved by a support team immediately. GO LIVE AND SUPPORT
