Hi Bobby,

As the normal SDLC.Software Development Life Cycle ) is followed.

I wish to tell you about the generally Phases are,

Implementation-

Rollout(Go -live when markets go live for the functionality)

Support.

if its a big Implementation -templates will be created ..then those templates are rolled out to different places-(Along with some local change requirements)---then there support comes in form of tickets..

Lets say,

One implementation been done for one country-- then the templates will be use for other countries that will fall under roll out (Making easier as same thing is been implemented earlier,flaws and shortcomings are well known)..

Also if they wants to add some local changes ..

After rollout

Support comes into picture, where tickets come either as maintaince or error.

To add to the above things

Hi Bobby,

For an implementation project we will be having the following steps/phases

Project Preparation:In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your

project:

Define your project goals and objectives

Clarify the scope of your implementation

Define your project schedule, budget plan, and implementation sequence

Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources

Business Blueprint:In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb), which documents your enterpriseu2019s requirements and establishes how your business processes and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.

Realization: In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user documentation.

Final Preparation: In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been fulfilled.

Go Live & Support: In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system performance.

At last enduser training will be included.

I hope this will help you,

Thanks,
