ASAP Structure
The individual phases of the ASAP Implementation
Roadmap are:
Each phase has a set of deliverables that are produced during the duration of the phase and serve
as the input to follow-up phases. Each deliverable provides list of Outputs it consist of and Methods
that are used to produce the deliverable.

AcceleratedSAP Implementation Methodology
Phase 1: Project Preparation
During this phase the project is formally initiated and initial planning completed for the SAP solution implementation project.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint
The purpose of this phase is to gather business requirements and 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.
Phase 3: Realization
The purpose of this phase is to build & test the solution that meets the business requirements defined in the Business Blueprint. The system configuration is delivered in two deliverable groups: Baseline (core scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope). This is then followed by Integration Testing.
Phase 4: Final Preparation
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including performance testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) and gain authorization to cut over to new solution. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, the business is ready to run with the new SAP based solution.
Phase 5: Go Live & Support
The purpose of this phase is to complete solution confirmation of the live productive solution and close the project with the business successfully running the new solution.

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