1. ASAP Methodology for Implementation
The ASAP Implementation Methodology has the following constituent parts.
ASAP Implementation Roadmap
The new ASAP Core Roadmap 7.0 provides a significant update to the existing ASAP Implementation
Roadmap and now takes into account the process, application, value, and project lifecycle. The new
roadmap covers the phases from project preparation through delivery to the Run SAP phase.
While the fundamentals of ASAP have been kept in place, the new roadmap includes a number of
significant updates to align it with Business Process Management, value-based delivery, and SAP
solution build based on SAP Best Practices, own practices (SOA/composite solutions), and provide
best insight (technology to analyze, explore and predict business). In addition to these
enhancements, the new roadmap is more streamlined - less work breakdown structure in that it
provides a number of updates to the traditional ASAP content and accelerators in areas such as
blueprinting, configuration, testing, organizational change management, and more.
You can access the ASAP Methodology for Implementation on the SCN pages. You can download an
HTML version of the ASAP Core Roadmap 7.0 on SAP Services Marketplace - ASAP Roadmaps and

ASAP Implementation Phases
The individual phases of the ASAP Implementation Roadmap are:
Phase 1: Project Preparation - During this phase the team goes through initial planning and
preparation for SAP project.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of
how the company intends to run SAP to support their business.
Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process
requirements based on the Business Blueprint.
Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including
testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to
go live.
Phase 5: Go Live and Support - The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-
production environment to live production operation.
Phase 6: Run - The primary goal of this phase is to ensure the operability of the solution.
Each phase has a set of deliverables that are produced during the duration of the phase and serve as
the input to follow-up phases. Each deliverable provides list of outputs it consist of and methods
that are used to produce the deliverable.
