Project Preparation

In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:

Define your project goals and objectives

Clarify the scope of your implementation

Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence

Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources

Business Blueprint

In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb), which documents your enterprise’s requirements and establishes how your business processes and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.

Realization

In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation.

Final Preparation

In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been fulfilled.

Go Live & Support

In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.

My Question is how do you gather requirements, by what means you understand the client needs.

Do we have any templates for that where client will be given set questionaries by which we would understand there processes..so if you have any such kinda ones then do share with me.

Hi,

You need to get the documents from the client on a tamplate that is prescribed by your company. This is called AS-IS document. i.e whatever the client is doing today without SAP.

Then a TO-BE document will be prepared by the Functional consultants.

Finally a GAP analysis will be done between the AS-IS and TO-BE documents.

Then theSign Off will happen based on the Blueprint prepared from the client.

Hope this helps you.
