No process, process development method

Certiﬁcation 5 The No Process Process Development Model

What the heck? Text Text We had a slight problem...

Ooops... • No plan • No structure • No timeline • No support • No budget

Hmmm... • We had experience • We had motivation • We had passion • We had determination • We made time

Cool USPs... • Martin’s 1st hand experience • Michael’s on the ground understanding • Jon’s SAP Ed expertise • Den’s part baked vision • Leo’s balance

Tools.... { Comms { Production X

Early decisions • Do not use SAP Wiki • Everyone has a voice • Finagle the voices into something coherent • Use quasi SCRUM • Limit the work • Be respectful at all times

Step 1 • Went away and thought • Came back with individual rough cuts • Elected DAH to edit with help from Jon • Michael/Jon formatting

Step 2 • Attend SAP Ed webinar • Reﬁne paper • Present to SAP Ed for comments • Present to Mentors • More reﬁning (watch time limit re: SAPPHIRE)

Step 3 • Publish and duck • Start marketing • Make noise • Block and tackle

Marketing • Present to Mentors (webinar) • SDN post • Twitter pimping (@certiﬁcation5/ @C5) • LinkedIn, Facebook, other posts • The cartoon • SAPPHIRE 2010 • Hats • eGeeks/FMR

What worked • Early drafts in good shape • Tracking changes in GDocs (but not recommended) • Keeping to time on calls • Being honest about availability = expectations met • Making it fun

What didn’t work • SAP collaboration was largely one sided • Under estimated SAP issues • Inadequate thought about post-launch activities

What you don’t see

Results • Turned around one time staunch skeptics • SAP board level attention • Co-CEO commitment to review • Got SAP thinking

Crowning moment?

What’s Next? • More marketing • Follow up Mentor Webinar • SAP follow up • SAP TechEd • Stand alone website? (as ESME)

My advice?
