How to Adjust a Road Map to an SAP S/4HANA Project
The Road Map Viewer can only present (and filter) road map content – No “Edit Mode”
Procedure
1. Download the templates from the Road Map Viewer <LINK>
2. Clarify w/ the customer on project activities and responsibilities (supported by the road map PPTX slide)
3. Import the ITPPM template into SAP Solution Manager and adjust activities and tasks accordingly (alternatively, use MS
Excel or MS Project template)
4. Further refine plan (e.g. adding entries, adjusting durations)
5. Clarify on service support from SAP (SAP Enterprise Support / SAP Value Assurance / SAP Advanced Deployment; see
below)
