The new ASAP MethodologyOverview of the new ASAP Methodologyfor Implementation 7.x and ASAPBusiness Add-Ons
Topics covered in today’s sessionWhat is ASAP, why is it important for project successWhat changed - key improvementsUse case for BPMHow to access and where to fine information for further study
Our objective is to provide overview of the new, refreshed and streamlined ASAPimplementation methodology, ASAP Business Add-ons, its use in deliveryprojects along with enabling tools like SAP Solution Manager and ARIS Platform.
AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) provides a proven, comprehensive,repeatable and rich implementation methodology tostreamline projects.ASAP covers implementations, upgrades, strategic studiesand more.
BenefitsReduced total cost of implementation through streamlined and modular implementation roadmap thatprovides content rich implementation accelerators, templates and guidesIndustry standard aligned project management process and guidelines – PMI PMBOKAchieve transparency of value delivery through consistent business case reflectionEnables efficient project governance and quality managementEfficient guidance for SOA, BPM and traditional implementation projectsDrive combined Business Process and IT Architecture approach (E2E)Covers entire project life-cycle – from evaluation through delivery to post project solution mgmt andoperationsDelivers revised content in all traditional ASAP areas – Project management, SAP Solution Manager,organizational change management, training, blueprinting, realization, cutover planning and execution, andothers
Example 4: Modular content delivery throughASAP Business Add-Ons
ASAP Core does not contain solution or industry specific content; Business Add-on packages deliver thiscontentASAP Core with Add-ons defines specific project deliverables (e.g. WBS)
KEY MESSAGE
ASAP Core – common project deliverables ASAP Business Add-on – industry or solution focused
Phase

Deliverable
Sub-Deliverable
Standard deliverables for entire delivery project lifecycleStreamlined – reduced complexityEmphasizes new and strategic areas, e.g. IntegratedService Delivery, Value Delivery, Modeling, SOA etc.Includes standard SAP Service referencesValue-added accelerators, templates and samplesEstablishes “anchor” points for solution/industry/projecttype add-ons
Delivers solution or industry specific implementationcontentCan be switched on/off based on project needsDesigned to support implementable steps/solutionsUses ASAP Core content as basisClearly defined owner, delivery plan and maintenancestrategy
Concept of Core ASAP and ASAP Business Add-OnsExample: HR – business implementation content
ASAP Business Add-on delivers industry or solution specific methodology and business content for implementation out ofthe boxAll ASAP Business Add-ons deliver methodology extensions, most deliver business content in SAP Solution Manager andSAP Enterprise Modeling by IDS Scheer
KEY MESSAGE
Core ASAP – common project deliverables ASAP Add-on – industry or solution focused

SAP’s Blueprint Approach is based on the following proven methodologiesValue Realization, which creates the framework for scope and delivery of expected benefitsBusiness Process Management Methodology (BPMM), which provides the framework forprocess decompositionAgile Acceleration Techniques at SAP, that support the speed to market; they incorporatevisualizations, iterative feedback loops and frequent control points
Acceleration is based on sustainable assets and the re-usable content, as well as tools andtechnology that provide a structure for re-useAcceleration can be accomplished through the elimination of unnecessary work steps withinthe implementation life cycleAcceleration of implementation and lowering of overall cost can often best be realized throughgetting it right the first time, eliminating the need for rework and associated delaysAcceleration can be achieved through compression techniques such as parallelization ofactivities and new work shop approaches
“If your only tool is a hammer, then every problem begins to look like a nail.”
