SAP Activate implementation roadmaps are

organized by logical categories or by solution and
provides a prescriptive guidance for project tasks
and deliverables required to ensure a successful
project implementation.

Access all your enterprise project management

resources and project phases for many SAP
solutions in this easy to consume format.

The structure of the SAP Activate Roadmap Viewer

includes:

Phases: Stages of the project. At the end of each

phase, a quality gate exists to verify the
completion of the deliverables.

Deliverables: Outcomes that are delivered during

the course of the project. Several deliverables are
included within a phase.

Tasks: Work to be performed. One or several

tasks comprise a deliverable.

Workstreams: A collection of related deliverables

that show time relationships within a project and

SAP Activate Roadmap Viewer provides a structured

approach to the software implementation process.
Activities are split into distinct phases with
deliverables and tasks that help project teams to
better plan, execute, and manage their
implementation project.

SAP solution implementation roadmaps aim to

assist by providing implementation project teams
with recommended lists of the following:

phase and contains the deliverables by
workstream images and overview details per
phase.
2. Content leads to main Structure of the
roadmap which starts with the phase, followed
by the deliverables and tasks.
3. Project teams have the option to narrow down
content with the use of filters. Filters are
