SAP Methodology EvolutionASAP 7 vs. ASAP 8

ASAP 7 Yesterday

• Methodology covers only Design-based projects

• In projects that contain RDS or other packaged offering the Bid Manager has to manually merge Service WBS and ASAP WBS

• SAP still has multiple delivery methodologies for different packages – e.g. ASAP Focus and RDS Methodology

ASAP 8 Today

• One deliverable based methodology covering all types of delivery models

• Provides pool of deliverables and tasks to select from for different projects and services

• Prescribes who is accountable for the task, who performs it, delivery mode, deployment mode and other details

• Facilitates re-use of content between projects.

• Harmonized WBS allows for assembly of projects from predefined service components.
