Delivering SAP projects has its known
challenges…
© 2015 – ENSEAD Advisory 3
• Often costs more than expected
• Often takes longer than expected
• Often differs from what was expected
But what if we…
© 2015 – ENSEAD Advisory 4
• Freeze budget
• Freeze timelines
…and focus on a working product?
• Freeze quality
When we freeze budget, timeline, and quality, the
only variable left is scope – the basics of Agile
As per the Agile Manifesto “Agile” methodologies value:
Individuals and interactions over Processes and tools
Working software over
Comprehensive
documentation
Customer collaboration over Contract negotiation
Responding to change over Following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right,
the items on the left are valued more.

Okay but…
…can we apply this to SAP?

Gartner (2010): ‘Agile is now a mainstream, mature and proven set of development methods.’

Source: SAP AG

© 2015 – ENSEAD Advisory 9
• Fights with Support & Operation teams over
resources, especially scarce ones
• Fights with business over project priorities
and time-to-market for changes or fixes
…which is why you should consider scaling up Agile
• Fights with Support & Operations teams over locked
objects and transports
10© 2015 – ENSEAD Advisory
Agile SAP is…
© 2015 – ENSEAD Advisory 11
• Taking the sting out and become
the bee’s knees
• Fitting in with your surroundings
in the blink of an eye
• Unclipping your wings and reach
new heights
Adopting Agile however…
… is a disruptive change!
