ASAP Implementation Roadmap

The ASAP Implementation Methodology has the following constituent parts.

The new ASAP Core Roadmap 7.0 provides a significant update to the existing ASAP Implementation Roadmap and now takes into account the process, application, value, and project lifecycle. The new roadmap covers the phases from project preparation through delivery to the Run SAP phase.

While the fundamentals of ASAP have been kept in place, the new roadmap includes a number of significant updates to align it with Business Process Management, value-based delivery, and SAP solution build based on SAP Best Practices, own practices (SOA/composite solutions), and provide best insight (technology to analyze, explore and predict business). In addition to these enhancements, the new roadmap is more streamlined – less work breakdown structure in that it provides a number of updates to the traditional ASAP content and accelerators in areas such as blueprinting, configuration, testing, organizational change management, and more.

You can access the ASAP Methodology for Implementation on the SCN pages. You can download an HTML version of the ASAP Core Roadmap 7.0 on SAP Services Marketplace – ASAP Roadmaps and Run SAP Roadmaps (SMP login required).

ASAP Implementation Phases

The individual phases of the ASAP Implementation Roadmap are:

1. Phase 1: Project Preparation – During this phase the team goes through initial planning and preparation for SAP project.
2. Phase 2: Business Blueprint – The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run SAP to support their business.
3. Phase 3: Realization – The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint.
4. Phase 4: Final Preparation – The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live.
5. Phase 5: Go Live and Support – The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.
6. Phase 6: Run – The primary goal of this phase is to ensure the operability of the solution.

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.
