SAP Activate methodology is a modular and agile framework for implementation or migration to SAP S/4HANA. It builds on its predecessors: ASAP® and SAP Launch methodology. 9TEAMS brings SAP Activate to live and allows you – and all stakeholders involved – to collaborate on roadmaps, issues, requests, tasks, scenarios, and so much more. 

METHODOLOGY AND ROADMAP FOR ACCELERATED S/4HANA IMPLEMENTATION

SAP Activate combines SAP Best Practices, guided configuration and implementation methodology to get your organization onboarded quicker than ever. With 9TEAMS you can now accelerate your implementation even more.

A typical project implementation lifecycle is now being broken down in 6 main stages or phases. The whole idea is to take proven best practices as the starting point and deliver the project in continuous iterations.

SAP Activate Framework

Thank God! The Activate approach is moving away from the strict waterfall approach and is injecting more and more agile concepts in the project lifecycle. Big opportunities to accelerate implementation and improve business-technology alignment. However, some challenges we already knew before are only becoming more evident.

  • More business involvement requires more stakeholders to align
  • Less blueprinting and more prototyping requires a more transparent process for handling issues and change requests
  • Ever faster changing business models requires more documentation

How to cope with these challenges, while boosting implementation efficiency and compliance simultaneously? Right … based on our SAP project management and technology expertise we can help!
