What is a SAP Activate Methodology Implementation Roadmap?
In software implementation, the methodology (often
referred to as the Implementation Roadmap)
represents a structured approach to the software
implementation process. It allows work to be split
into distinct phases, with deliverables and tasks, that
help project teams to better plan, execute, and
manage their implementation project.
Follow along in SAP Roadmap Viewer at:
https://go.support.sap.com/roadmapviewer/
A SAP Activate Methodology Implementation Roadmap aims
to assist by providing implementation project teams with a
recommended list of deliverables (the “what”) in each phase, a
process description in the form of tasks (the “how”), and
accelerators (such as templates, examples, guides and web links)
in a user friendly format - helping implementations to
run simple.
 Key Terms
1 Phases- Phases are stages of the project. At the
end of each phase, a quality gate exists to verify the
completion of the deliverables.
1
2 Deliverables- A deliverable is an outcome that is 2
delivered during the course of the project. Several
deliverables are included within a work stream. 3
3 Tasks- A task is work to be performed. One or
several tasks comprise a deliverable.

4 Accelerator- An accelerator is a document, 5

template, or a web-link that helps a consultant, a
customer, or the PM perform the task and complete
the work faster or with less effort.

5 Workstreams- A workstream is a collection of related

deliverables that show time relationships within a project
and among other streams. Streams can span phases and
are not necessarily dependent on phase starts and end.
