With their all-encompassing platform for integrating and streamlining fundamental company activities, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems—and SAP in particular—have become crucial instruments in this endeavour. But SAP deployment is a complicated process, with of obstacles that can cause delays, cost overruns, and even project failure. The technical aspects of SAP are extensively covered in documentation, but the importance of good project management is sometimes overlooked, resulting in subpar results.

It is born out of years of experience witnessing both successful and struggling SAP implementations, and a deep understanding of the critical project management factors that differentiate triumph from disaster.

Throughout the project lifecycle, we delve into important elements like managing stakeholders, assessing risks, managing changes, developing testing procedures, and the significance of effective communication. We also provide easily implementable frameworks and templates and stress the importance of a strong methodology that is specific to SAP projects. This book is intended for a broad audience, including:• Project Managers: Providing them with a comprehensive framework and practical guidance for managing all phases of an SAP implementation.• SAP Consultants: Enhancing their understanding of the project management aspects and their role in contributing to successful outcomes.• Business Stakeholders: Equipping them with the knowledge to actively participate in and contribute to the success of the project.• IT Professionals: Providing insights into the project management dynamics and how their technical expertise aligns with the overall project goals.We think that effective SAP implementations are not only about deploying software; they are about transforming enterprises.
