ASAP methodology SAP

ASAP, accelerated SAP methodology in SAP Project implementations,
phases in ASAP methodology
ASAP, accelerated SAP implementation methodology is a proven and successful methodology in
implementation of SAP projects.
Steps and phases involved in ASAP implementation methodology

1. Project Preparation
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization
4. Final Preparation
5. Go Live & Support
Phase1: Project Preparation

This is the first phase on any project under ASAP methodology, this will begin building up a core
project team to go through whole implementation process.
In this phase the team goes through initial planning and preparation for SAP project
implementation, this phase includes:
Defining project goals and objectives.
Clarifying the scope of implementation.
Defining project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence.
Establishing the project organization and relevant committees, and assigning resources.
Phase2: Business blue print

This is the second of a project under ASAP methodology, this is the detailed formula of the
implementation of the project. The main objective of this phase is to achieve common
understanding of how the company intend to run SAP software.
The project goals and objectives will be set in this phase.
This phase also involves man power, training needs etc.
Phase3: Realization
This is the third phase in ASAP, the purpose of this phase is to implement all the business
process requirements based on blue print.
In this level, the project team should have activities as follow, unit test; integration test;
RICEF(Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements and Forms) developments, data
cleaning, preparation, collection, validation and testing; train the trainer, such as process owner
and super users. The project should develop end user training in accordance with the end user
training strategy.
Phase4: Final Preparation

In the forth phase in ASAP, Final Preparation, it will complete the final preparation which include
testing, end user testing, system management and cut over activities, to finalize the readiness to
go live. In addition, this step will resolve all critical open issues, on successful completion in the
live SAP system.
Phase5: Go Live & Support

The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production
environment(Development environment) to live production operation. The most important
elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing
overall system performance.
The project team will integrate new organizational chart and job profile information performance
management system. In addition, the help desk(support desk) will support end user. The
important issue after implementation is to review system processes and continuous improvement
which means the core team will design high level structure, job hierarchy, role, responsibilities
and performance metrics for post implementation support personal.
ABAP Development end to end

process in Companies
Typically ABAP Developers involved in Realization, Final Preparation and Go live & Support
phases in ASAP methodologies of SAP .
ABAP Consultant role in Realization phase

ABAP consultants plays main role in Realization phase as real development starts here, in this
phase along with ABAP consultants Functional Consultants, Data Migration consultants and
Basis Consultants are involved.
ABAP Development flow in project implementation

Step1 : Functional consultants gather business requirements from business users.
Step2 : With the gathered requirement, functional consultants do some functionality analysis and
prepare Functional Specification.
Step3 : Functional Consultant send the designed functional specification to Project Manager
(generally in small projects, where project manager acts as lead) or Team Lead .
Step4 : PM/Teal Lead will assign the requirement to ABAP consultant by sending the Functional
Specification.
Step5 : ABAP consultants designs Technical Specification(Each company/project has their own
template) based on the Functional Specification .
Step6 : ABAP consultant sends(explains) the Technical Specification to Team Lead/Review
Team to get approval.
Step7 : Once get approval ABAP consultant starts developing ABAP/Web Dynpro/BSP
application.
Step8 : Once development is completed, ABAP consultant will do some Unit Testing(Testing the
application by ABAP consultant) and send it to Functional Consultants and they will send it to
Testing Team.
Step9 : Testers will test the application, if found any issues/bugs send them to ABAP
consultants, ABAP consultant fixes the bugs, this process continues till no bugs found.
Step10 : Once testing is completed, Functional consultants will send application to End Users
(Actual business users), they will test the application, if any issues found raise CR(Change
Request)/Bugs, ABAP consultant will fix them.
Step11 : Once End User testing is completed, they will give UAT(User Acceptance Testing) sign
off (means application can be moved to production ).
Step12 : The entire development moved to production on specific planned day.
Step13 : ABAP consultant provides production support for the application for some time (ex: 3
months )
Note: The above is the standard process followed in Companies, the process may vary from
Company to Company
