SAP Activate cheat sheet

• Phases: Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, Run.
• Activate = SAP Best Practices + methodology + tools such as SAP Cloud ALM.
• Explore: Fit-to-Standard, requirements, test strategy.
• Realize: sprints; unit, string, role, integration, data and acceptance tests.
• Deploy: rehearsals, cutover, go-live, hypercare. Run: regression for each update.
• Workstreams run across phases; Testing depends on Data, Integration, Security and Adoption.
• Quality gates at phase ends; outcomes are pass, pass with tracked conditions, or fail.
• Explore roadmaps in the Roadmap Viewer (SAP for Me); work from roadmap tasks in Cloud ALM.
• Process owners sign with evidence: test cases, runs, open defects and workarounds.
