What are challenges in the program management of SAP S/4HANA projects?
The demand to realize processes that fulfill

all business process requirements in time and budget
Define the target business processes based on SAP’s best practice

content instead of a process discussion from scratch.
Immediately available tool to quickly enable the project team with

standardized and agile processes on a high degree of usability
Transparency on current project status to react early on

any exception, and ability to manage distributed project teams
Efficient processes in project activities, which

reduces efforts and avoids data disruption

When should Focused Build be considered?
✓ If it´s a business process-driven project, e.g. based on Model Company

or SAP Best Practice content or customer-given process structure
✓ If there are many (>100) WRICEFs or gaps expected which have to be
realized by development and consulting teams
✓ If the project team is distributed over several locations or remote
delivery is expected
✓ If a Value Assurance package is involved, as Focused Build services
could be involved in the deliverables
✓ If the PMO wants to use a project tool which supports standardized
activities in the project, starting from target business process modeling,
requirement backlog, development, project documentation, testing
✓ If there is a SAP Solution Manager in use or planned to be used in the
operation after Go-Live
✓ If the project approach wants to follow basic agile principles or
SAP Activate methodology
✓ If the project starts soon and there is a need for a holistic
implementation tool asap

Create issues and risks to track unexpected topics
Maintain Issues and Risks

▪ Issue and Risk Management are integrated in Project Management for creation, monitoring, and execution
during all project phases
▪ Issues are existing or already happened problems which should be resolved in the project. Risks are
presumptive problems for the project which has not happen yet but could with a certain probability.
▪ Add issues and risks with mitigation strategies to your project plan to manage and resolve them in a timely
way
▪ All issues and risks are always tracked on the Solution Readiness Dashboard

Risk management
▪ Risks can be created for Master and Build project per phase
▪ Solution Readiness Dashboard provides consolidated overview
▪ Navigate from project or dashboard to get details or process the
risk
Process your risk based on status flow
Click ‘Edit’ and ‘Action’ to change the risk status

▪ New – Risk is identified and assigned to a responsible
risk owner
▪ Is Evaluated – Risk impact, severity, strategy, dates are
completed
▪ Missing Mitigation Plan – Mitigation plan needs to be
provided for risks with the strategy ‟mitigate”
▪ Is Monitored – All open risks are monitored in a regular
meeting with all risk owners, to make sure that the
appropriate actions are taken
▪ Risk Triggered – The risk manifested and needs to be
mitigated
▪ Mitigation Plan in Execution – The mitigation plan is
executed according to the initial definition
▪ Closed – Either the risk was not triggered or all follow-
up activities were carried out

Meaning of the Requirements tile
John Doe
By clicking a bar in a tile you get a list display of all

tile elements, e.g. requirements which have a work
package with the status “Created”
Checking this list of requirements, you know that:

→ Scoping of work items needs to be done
→ Functional specs need to be assigned

Navigation example – Work packages
By clicking the Work Packages tile you get a list of all work
packages in your work stream
In the detailed list view you can control the status of

each work package and item
