Key Points to Take Home

Sign-up for the SAPACTIVATE Methodology Jam site


http://bitly.com/SAPActivate and ask questions in the collaboration space

Remember to ramp up your project team and business users before you use
this approach especially important in companies with long experience with
traditional ASAP-based approach

Start your next project with working system in the cloud, based on SAP Best
Practices

Accelerate design process with solution validation and delta design (instead of
using traditional approach based on blueprinting of the entire solution scope)

Use iterative build and test cycles to frequently inspect the results with
business users and to confirm solution fit
