SAPACTIVATEKey Points to Take Home
• Sign-up for the SAPACTIVATE Methodology Jam site –http://bitly.com/SAPActivate and ask questions in the collaboration space
• Remember to ramp up your project team and business users before you use this approach – especially important in companies with long experience with “traditional ASAP-based approach”
• Start your next project with working system in the cloud, based on SAP Best Practices
• Accelerate design process with solution validation and delta design (instead of using traditional approach based on blueprinting of the entire solution scope)
• Use iterative build and test cycles to frequently inspect the results with business users and to confirm solution fit
