More fun
- Rewarding to see features used once tested
[ Key Learnings
Agile approach works well for SAP features that can be decoupled and
deployed once production-ready
o Ensure theres one prioritized list of user stories agreed upon by all business stakeholders
o Engaged customers really make a huge difference
o Reporting solutions involving MSTR/BI significantly hindered team agility given current
fragmented resource model
SAP system design documents (f-specs, TDD, KTBR release notes) add value
but not required to start development
o Enables knowledge transfer between SA/AD, Support and future projects
SA/ADs could size work better with a simple guide that outlines different
SAP solution attributes and development considerations
Agility enhanced when core team members work in same time zone
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
