  • Writing the Overall Business Case for a Global Project

    The business case must be aligned with some concrete multi-national business benefits The best way to write a business case is to align it with one of these areas:

    Money

    Strategy

    Reducing time and effort of delivery

    Improved information quality and access for end users

  • Example Business Benefits of SAP BI

    Users get earlier access to

    information

    Load times in BI are

    less than traditional,

    custom- developed

    data warehouses

    Business users need a high

    Availability solution

    Information Access

    Users spend less time on

    reconciling data, and more

    time analyzing it.

    BW is

    closer

    to the

    source system, and more

    accurately reflects data

    A substantial portion of the data

    warehouse effort is spent on

    reconciling information

    Reconciliation Effort

    Enables web initiatives to get

    closer to the source data,

    both in time and consistency.

    BW is closely integrated

    with R/3, and can deliver

    data that reflects the

    source system at short

    time intervals.

    Web delivery requires rapid data

    delivery of high consistency with

    the source system.

    Web strategy

    Substantial cost savings, by

    not having to redevelop new

    extract programs for each

    SAP upgrade

    BW R/3 integration points are maintained and tested by SAP

    Updating extract programs

    when upgrading R/3 is

    expensive.

    Cost Avoidance

    SAP is responsible for

    maintenance of the

    product.

    Maintaining a custom developed

    BI solution is complex and

    expensive.

  • Example Business Benefits of SAP BI (cont.)

    AreaObservationSAP BI BenefitSAP StrategyIt is the organizations SAP strategy to leverage investments in the SAP to the fullest extent, and maximize SAP resource utilization.SAP BI is a SAP product, and is based on standard SAP NetWeaver technologies (Basis, ABAP, etc.)Strategic fit and synergy with SAP. SAP Basis, ABAP, etc. resources can be used across SAP projects, including SAP BW.Tool StandardizationThe organization must be able to leverage industry standards to enable business users to access data in a variety of ways Microsofts ODBO application interface and Java (SAP BI 3.5) are supported by a variety of major presentation and web tools.Simplifies user access to data, expands options for using standard presentation and web tools, or developing your own.Industry TrendThe organizations competitors and some of the organizations business areas are installing SAP BI Increased industry resource pool and knowledge of SAP BWEnables the organization to leverage industry solutions and know-how.
  • What Logically Belongs in a Global BI System?

    Five years ago, with version 3.0B, BI became increasingly able to report on operational detailed data. But some reports still belong in R/3 or other transactions systems

  • Alternative Global BI Approaches

    TOP-DOWN APPROACH

    Build a global data warehouse for the company, and proceed sourcing local data from old legacy systems driven from a top-down approach.

    BOTTOM-UP APPROACH

    Focus on a bottom-up approach where the BI project will prioritize supporting and delivering local BI solutions, thereby setting the actual establishment of the global Data Warehouse as secondary, BUT not forgotten.

    CHANGE

  • The Six Global Dimensions

    There are six core global dimensions you must consider before embarking on a global DW strategy. Project management is important, but its only one of these dimensions. Failure to account for the others may result in project failures.

    Source: Peter Grottendieck, Siemens

    For each dimension, articulate an approach, constraints, limitations and assumptions before you start your project.

  • The Six Global Dimensions (cont.)

    Be aware that US management styles can often come across as very aggressive and authoritative. To get local buy-in, assign meaningful leadership roles to local managers.

    Culture, language, attitudes and politics can get in the way of a global project

    Make sure you have a blend of local resources in leadership roles and consider local consultants instead of bringing in US resources

    Intercultural Know How

  • The Six Global Dimensions (cont.)

    One of the first steps is to make sure you have reliable connectivity and bandwidth to move the data each night

    What happens if the data movement fails?

    How can you get access to backup tapes?

    Can the bandwidth handle end-of month high volumes?

    What infrastructure do each source site use?

    Infrastructure

    Prerequisites

  • The Six Global Dimensions (cont.)

    Do all team members and end-users communicate as effective in English?

    Documentation

    Do we need multi-language training and documentation?Does basic conversational English mean that users can read and understand technical training material and documentation?Have you installed Unicode on your BI system?

    Training

  • Identifying Your Business Requirements

    One of the first steps is to gather the right requirements. This is done in a variety of ways, depending on which methodology you employ. It is a complex process involving:

    Discovery and Education

    Formal communication

    Reviews

    Final approvals

    An SAP NetWeaver implementation involves more than just black-and-white technical decisions; just because something is technically feasible, doesnt mean it is wise or desirable from a business perspective.

    What the user wanted

    How customer described it

    How analyst specified it

    How designer implemented it

  • Defining The Scope Of Your Global SAP BI Implementation

    First, determine what the local and shared business drivers are, and make sure you meet these objectives.Define the scope in terms of what is included, as well as what is not included, make sure everyone is at least heard. In some cultures, process is as important as outcomes.Make sure you obtain approval of the scope before you progress any further. All your work from now on will be driven based on what is agreed to at this stage.As part of the written scope agreement, make sure you implement a formal change request process. This typically includes a benefit-cost estimate for each change request and a formal approval process.

    Change management is done to manage scope, timelines and competing business requirements. Put in place a process for capturing feedback & requests.

    430.unknown
  • Defining The Scope Of Your global SAP BI Implementation (cont.)

    For the first go-live, keep the scope as small as possible

    e.g., Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, G/L, or COPA

    You have only 3 dimensions to work with:

    If one of these dimensions changes, you have to adjust at least one of the others

    Time

    Scope

    Resources

    (people, technology

    and money)

    431.unknown
  • Prioritizing the Enterprise Global Scope (Example)

    Plan multiple implementations, and write a long-term outline. Control change with a formal change request process.

  • Selecting A Methodology

    Many times, there are several potentially right choices

    i.e., when time-to-delivery is moderate, or when the impact of failure is moderate. Also be aware of local variations of the methodologies

    The diagram is intended to illustrate the differences among the appropriateness of each methodology.

    The decision is clearer in the extreme. In practice, however, there are gray zones where more than one answer may be correct.

  • Writing A Global Milestone Plan

    Use milestone plan to illustrate dependencies and high-level tasks

    Post this plan on the walls and in the hallways of ervyone affected.

    Dont hide it in the PM's office in a different country.

    Keep it under 30 items

  • Six ways to organizing the Global BI development effort

    The more distributed the SAP BI development effort becomes, the more difficult it is to maintain communication and get cohesive requirements.

  • Developing Your Staffing Plan: Lessons Learned

    Developer training should start early for all project team membersSAP R/3 skills are not easily transferable to SAP BW

    Hands-on experience is needed

    Its very hard to learn while being productive

    The quality of the team members is much more important than the number of members

    An experienced SAP BI developer can accomplish in one day what 3 novice developers can do in a week

    The tool has a steep learning curve

    432.unknown
  • Developing Your Staffing Plan: Lessons Learned (cont.)

    Project time and cost estimates should be based on teams experience levelPlan on formal knowledge-transfer from external resources from day one

    Link inexperienced members with experienced ones

    Have identified go-to resources available in all areas

    Make a list!

    (we will take a second look at this when we do the budgeting!)

  • Sleep, Travel and Time Zones..

    People crossing 4 or more time zones need over 36 hours to adjust! This increases to over 72 hours when crossing 6 or more time zones. Some simple rules to address this:

    Create a "project time" in the middle. I.e. for European and US projects, middle time would be Eastern US time +3 hrs, and European central times less 3 hours. No meetings would be scheduled between 8-11am in Europe, nor between 2-5pm in the US.

    Fly to the destination the day before, or allow at least 4 hours downtime for sleeping and showering at the hotel.

    Dont schedule meeting times around when people are traveling.

    Keep each trip over 5 days minimum to adjust for sleep, or risk running the team "into the ground"

    Plan extended weekends for family time for staff after a long trip (including consultants)

  • SAP Business Intelligence Project Budgeting Process Steps

    Size the SAP BI effort based on the scope

    Prioritize the effort

    Map the effort to the delivery schedule

    Plan for number of resources needed based on the scope, delivery schedule and the effort.

    Create the Milestone Plan and Scope Statement first, before attacking the budgeting process!!Start the budgeting process by estimating the workload in terms of the development effort. Refine based on the teams skill experience and skill level

    We will now look at an example how this process works in the real world

    426.unknown
  • 1. Size SAP BI Effort Based on the Scope Real Example

    Remember that your sizing also has to be based on the teams experience and skill level.

  • 2. Prioritize the Effort

    The next step is to prioritize and outline the effort on a strategic timeline

    Make sure your sponsor and the business community agree with your delivery schedule

  • 3. Use Project Estimates & the Timeline to Create Project Load Plan

    There are 480 available work hours per project member per quarter.

    Knowing this, we can plan the number of team members we need

    NOTE: Remember to plan for different vacation schedules (i.e. in Europe a 3-4 weeks vacation is not unusual).

    427.unknown
  • 4. Result: Good Input for the Staffing Costs and Planning

    Many companies plan a 60%- 40% mix of internal and external resources for a first go-live. Also, most use $50-$90 per hr for internal budgeting and $90-$170 per hr for external resources.

    Use this information to plan for training, on-boarding, and staffing

    This spike in resource needs is due to an overlap in the delivery schedule

    Now might be a good time to review that decision

  • Global On-Boarding and Training

    Dont underestimate the value of in-house, hands-on training in addition to formal SAP training classes.

    It is also important to provide technical training to the team members in their own language and this is normally best done in their respective countries,

    429.unknown
  • Writing the Workplan SAP Best Practices for BI

    A sample workplan can be downloaded from the SAP Best Practices for BI web site

    A test drive is available on the Web site: http://help.sap.com/bp_biv170/index.htm

  • Writing the Workplan

    The Workplan

    Write a detailed workplan that references the methodology.

    Make sure the workplan is detailed enough to track project progress.

    Progress can be measured by hours used, vs. % of tasks completed.

    400 to 1000 line-item workplans are not unusual for mid-size and large SAP BI implementations

    More Details on workplan writing available here: Writing Solid and Realistic Work Plans for a SAP BI Implementation Project, SAP Project Mgmt Conference 2005,http://csc-studentweb.lrc.edu/swp/Berg/articles/PM05_Berg_Writingasolid.ppt

  • Effort, Duration and Mistakes on Global BI Projects

    Source: Planning and improving global software development process by Setamanit, Wakeland, Raffo, May 2006, international workshop on Global software development

    Recent research have demonstrated that global projects that spends more days (duration) on similar tasks, have less defects and less re-work.

    Since team members are more likely to work on multiple tasks not related to the project, longer durations on developing the SAP BI system does not mean more effort (i.e. work hours).

  • Global Project Risk Mitigation Strategies

    L - Limitations (what are the assumed, existing and design limitations)

    A - Assumptions (what assumptions are made, and what happens

    when these assumptions are no longer true?)

    R - Risks (what are the risks created by this approach, what are

    the impacts of failure, and how can these risks be

    minimized)

    Developers, designers and business analysts should be forced to write at least one paragraph on each of these item.

    It forces new thinking as well as the constant questioning of assumptions (which may not be accurate).

    State 3 items in every design, budget and final deliverable:

  • Plan for solving Global SAP BI project issues

    Having IT people engaged in SAP BI global development without providing the right infrastructure, approach and management is a recipe for failure

    Source: Leveraging resources in global software development Battin, Crocker, Kreidler, Subramanian, Software, IEEE

  • Global Project Risk Mitigation Strategies

    Add 15% more project time for travel and adjustments

    Rotate travel so that the stress is more evenly distributed on the team

    Plan to spend 5-10 days at the beginning of the project to level set and build trust and social networks before the real work begins.

    Create a formal escalation process of issues related to the project and make sure one culture does not dominate.

    Select a project language formally and make sure all team members are proficient in it.

    Spend time rewarding inter-team cooperation and create opportunities for promotion within and outside both teams (cross pollinate)

  • Monitoring Progress

    Manage the workplan from a percent complete standpoint on a weekly basisCreate weekly status reports with core progress metrics and send to all team members (keep it high-level and tangible)Require monthly status reports from all team members in a fixed formatKeep a close eye on the deadlines for the deliverables and make to follow-up personally on late tasksTrack percent complete tasks in the workplan against the number of hours, or days worked, to see if you are on-track.

    SAP BI is a complex environment that has many dependencies. Late tasks can have significant impacts on the overall project.

  • The User Acceptance Group and Its Role

    Create a user acceptance team consisting of 5-7 members from the various business departments or organizations Keep the number odd to assist with votes when decisions need to be made. With fewer than 5 members, it can be hard to get enough members present at each meetingMake this team the focus of your requirements gathering in the early phase, then let this team perform user acceptance testing during the Realization phaseMeet with the team at least once a month during realization to refine requirements as you are building, and have something to show them

    This approach is hard to execute when also managing scope, but is essential to make sure that the system meets users requirements

  • 7 Key Points to Take Home

    Write the business case around the areas of greatest benefit to more than one user community - think globally act locally!!

    Warning: Dont use a shotgun approach, keep it focused

    Define your scope in-terms of what is included, and state what is not included and make it clear to everyone from the startEstablish a formal global change control process that is well communicated and that have instruments for capturing feedbackPlan your global project based on the hours required for the effort, and the project teams experience and skill levels. Add 15% more time than you would for a local project.
  • 7 Key Points to Take Home (cont.)

    Establish milestone dates, and map the work hours required to these dates. Include local vacation schedules and holidays. Be sensitive to local work practices and don't 'enforce' your management style on the team (accept diversity).Establish a formal global on-boarding plan for project resources and make sure they receive appropriate training.Establish a formal process for quality control and approval of deliverables. Communicate often and spend time on team building activities.
