1. About This Document

1.1 Purpose and Scope

Increasingly, companies are focusing on the user experience of their enterprise software. SAP Screen

Personas provides you a complete control over how their business users interact with SAP on their

desktop. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a “cookbook” to deliver a successful SAP Screen

Personas project.

1.2 Target Audience

This document is intended for the following target audiences:

Ⴠ Design Professionals

Project Management

S Developers

Customers

P Partners

Consultants

1.3 Glossary

Term Definition

SAP application

An SAP software solution that serves a specific business area, for example, ERP, CRM, PLM, SRM, SCM

Business Scenario

From a microeconomic perspective, a business scenario is a cycle that consists of several interconnected logical processes in time. Typically, a business scenario includes several company departments and involves other business partners.

From a technical point of view, a business scenario needs at least one SAP

application (SAP ERP, SAP SCM, or others) for each cycle and possibly other

third-party systems.

A business scenario is a unit that can be implemented separately and reflects the customer’s prospective course of business.

Component The smallest individual unit considered within the Solution Development

Lifecycle. Components are separately produced, delivered, installed and maintained.

Flavor

‘Flavor’ in Personas identifies a specific personalization for a particular SAP

transaction. So a Personas Flavor is always linked to a specific SAP transaction (example VA01). On the other hand, one particular SAP transaction can have infinite number of flavors.

User Business user who uses any SAP transaction with Personas personalization.

Admin User A user who does and supports configuration and other system activities to support business users.

DCC Acronym for Design and Co-Innovation Center.

2. Introduction SAP Screen Personas allows companies to improve user productivity through personalization of their SAP

ERP screens. By providing the right information to the right users in the right context, they can get more

done in less time with greater accuracy. With more intuitive SAP screens, organizations can enhance user

satisfaction, minimize training time, and spend less money on screen modifications.

Delivering a good user experience does not only rely on technology. You need to:

Understand the needs of PEOPLE

Know the BUSINESS value

Use flexible SOLUTIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Follow user-Centric PROCESSES

While SAP is known for its extensive functionality and fast performance, many organizations are placing

intuitive user experience at the same level of importance for evaluating new software purchases. Personas

allows SAP to empower its customers with an extensive do-it-yourself tool kit to:

Improve end user’s productivity and satisfaction

Save costs on training and technical support by simplifying UIs and business processes

Provide systems that can be used by all employees and not just business experts

Design thinking methodology allows you to successfully execute a Personas project. The dates that are

given are estimates on how you should plan a project. Depending on the complexity of the transaction

and what you are planning to do with it, the whole process can be shorter or longer. Make sure you

obtain feedback early and often to ensure alignment with the business objectives, increasing the

probability of success of the project.

Example flow chart

How to use this document

1. Start with the Business Users and Qualification Questionnaire

2. Follow the steps in the Process Overview

3. Maintain close communication with the customer throughout the project to ensure alignment on

the objectives

Good luck!

3. Qualification Questionnaire

Before starting the project, you must qualify the business owner and ensure that they have the right

people, process, and technology in place to support a Personas project.

Discuss the following issues with your Business owner BEFORE starting the project.

People

Have you identified the following roles, all of which are important for a successful project:

o Executive sponsor

o Business process expert

o People familiar with SAP transactions that will be modified

o Person with design skills, preferably with software user experience skills

o Person with skills in using SAP Screen Personas (training can be part of the project)

o Basis person to install and configure Personas add-on, update kernel as needed, address security

issues

o End-users (people that actually use the transactions in their daily work) to participate in interviews

and design reviews.

Can you ensure that the personnel responsible for these areas will be readily available to assist during

the project? End user involvement is critical to the success of the project because of the knowledge

they possess on the business process.

Process

What metrics will you track before and after to measure the success of the project?

o For example: Number of steps it takes to complete a process

o Time for the whole process

List the intended application areas and the potential use cases you would like to target during the

Personas project.

Which SAP transaction codes are associated with these use cases?

Which specific use cases (transactions) do you have in mind for Personas and what is the planned time

frame?

What is the approximate number of users targeted for your transaction?

Technology (IT Environment)

Do you meet the Software Requirements listed for the service?

o Kernel 7.21, patch level 228 / 7.40 patch 65 / 7.41 patch 31 or higher (MANDATORY)

o Latest Note / patch of the Personas client (MANDATORY)

o Server with sufficient capacity identified where you will install the Personas add-on

o Silverlight 5.x plug-in installed in browser clients

Do you have the necessary know-how in-house to properly install, configure and administer the add-

on?

Do you need help from SAP with Personas or systems administration / tuning / installation?

Page 12: Sap Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook 8/2014

Can you provide remote connection to SAP to verify backend prerequisites (via OSS)?

Do you have a well-defined security structure in your current environment, where existing SAP user

roles correctly define the distinct user groups for which Personas customization will be used?

Are you currently using the WebGUI to access ECC transactions? If yes, are there any performance

concerns?

Design

Do you already have an established theme concept, available branding elements, colors and other

resources available to be used in Personas custom views? (e.g. Corporate branding and style

guidelines)

Have you already performed user experience research with your business users?

Timeline

Will the software be installed so it is ready for the start of the project?

Will you be able to make end-users available for user research, design iterations, validation and

testing?

If productive deployment is planned, what is the project start and go-live date?

Gate: Move forward only if installation and configuration are validated and customer infrastructure is

sized sufficiently to deliver proper performance.

6.3 Discover

**The following are suggestions on how you might approach a SAP Screen Personas Project**

Responsible: Designers/Business Owners

After the SAP Personas system is installed and configured, the “Discover”, “Design”, “Deliver” phases start.

These three phases follow the Design Thinking methodology, aiming to deliver designs that optimize the

user experiences.

Page 19: Sap Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook 8/2014

Discover Phase

The goal of the Discover Phase is to analyze the business process, the process steps and the tasks for an

end-user to complete a process. Through end-user interviews and observations, the design team gets a

complete picture of issues and potential pain points in this process.

Ideal Staffing and End-User Research Conditions:

Two user researchers (one interviewer and one note/artifact taker)

Conducting interviews on-site with end-users in their typical work environment.

Record user sessions through remote conferencing software (e.g. SAP Connect – internet access

required on-site)

Alternative Conditions:

Can conduct some initial user interviews with subject matter experts and select end-users

remotely with balance of end-user interviews on-site.

Key Tasks:

Scheduling of interviews, 5 end-user interviews are recommended per use case (good sample size)

Conduct user research through individual end user observations or end user interviews

Understand what fields and buttons are needed and not needed. What are

primary/secondary focus items for the user?

What is the workflow users are following while performing their tasks? Identify repetitive

activities, fields where fixed or easily pre-determined values are entered, navigation steps

that can be automated etc.

Analyze and visualize interview findings and review them with the end users

Page 20: Sap Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook 8/2014

Output: User Journey Map (outline end-user’s task flow and highlighting end-user’s current pain points)

Information Flow (visualize the screen elements used by the end-user currently)

6.4 Design

Responsible: Designers/Business Owners

Design Phase

In the Design Phase the design team creates preliminary designs and check technical feasibility with

technical experts.

Designers work with business users to determine a preferred design approach from the following:

1) Target Design Approach – design team will deliver the ideal design for best user experience

2) Feasible Design Approach – design team will deliver a design based on standard SAP Personas

capabilities.

Each design approach has its advantage and should be determined based on the customer’s

requirements.

Designers create preliminary designs and check technical feasibility with technical experts

Team and business users iterate on designed solution

If there is custom-code, special attention needs to be paid to it

Page 21: Sap Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook 8/2014

Sign-off on designs: Ideally, the end-users that participated in the interviews also participate in the

design reviews to provide feedback on the designs. Key stakeholders are responsible for the final

sign-off.

Output:

Output should be clickable mockups, data flow and other materials that will convey the Screen Personas

Screens.

Wireframes, Documentation and Visual Design – A wireframe is a visual guide that represents a skeletal

framework of the screens. Visual Design; Make sure to include pixel details in the visual design and

placement details of all the UI elements

6.5 Deliver

Responsible: Project Team

In the Deliver Phase, the actual Personas screens are developed.

project team implements the agreed design proposal in SAP Screen Personas

business users validates implementation

Instructions on how to build screen in Personas is covered in the SAP Screen Personas User Guide.

Page 22: Sap Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook

SAP Screen Personas Design Handbook 8/2014

To ensure satisfactory performance on the screens you build during the project, follow the guidelines

outlined in the SAP Screen Personas Performance Optimization Guide.

The end-user journey map is reviewed with the stakeholders (and ideally the same end-users who

participated in the interviews). A demo of the prototype is given to the review participants and a before

and after analysis is presented.

Output: SAP Screen Personas project results, technical documentation, design artifacts (journey map,

visual designs, before and after comparison).

Gate: Move forward only if there is agreement from Business users and the Personas design will make

their life significantly easier by delivering productivity improvements on the defined use cases. (Design

validation)

6.6 User Feedback

Responsible: SAP Screen Personas Project Team

In the User Feedback phase, the design and project team will conduct usability test with the business end-

users, observing how users are using the newly developed solutions, and collect key metrics of user

satisfaction.

6.7 QA and Testing

Responsible: SAP Screen Personas Project Team

Ensure all test cases are captured during the design/development phase. Ask the functional subject matter experts to define / prepare these test scenarios and to provide suitable data to run them.

Ensure all possible test cases are tested by the customer and approved. These should first be tested by subject matter experts and as a follow-up, by end users to make sure they cover typical use scenarios and possible error situations.

If there were defects encountered, ensure the defect resolution is captured and the test cases are retested. Follow up that test iteration results are sufficiently documented (for instance in a spreadsheet or similar). This should contain for instance: the test case description, expected and actual results, test date/time, indication of pass or fail, any experienced issues and the recommended resolution.

Designate individual test users representing any distinct user groups to make sure that customized transactions will work correctly with the planned security concept and authorization settings.

Gate: move forward only if everything on the screen consistently works as expected. Performance should

meet customer expectations. (Implementation validation)
