Project Methodology
What is Deploy Phase?
The SAP Activate phase for final readiness, cutover, go-live, and handover to hypercare.
Activities include dress rehearsal, end-user training, production cutover, and go-live support. The go or no-go decision falls here. It ends after hypercare stabilization.
