Purpose
The purpose of
this deliverable is to educate core project team members on how to configure
the SAP solution within each’s respective functional/ technical area of
responsibility.
How should it be produced
As in earlier
phases, a cross-reference of the project team members roles and
responsibilities and the SAP course curriculum is created. The cross-reference activity determines
which courses each team member should attend. The registration of these courses
should be filtered through one person to control costs, avoid confusion and
double bookings. The project team
training plan and budget should be updated once the team members are registered.
What if it is not done
If project team
members do not receive adequate Level 3 training prior to the commencement of
configuration, or no training at all, knowledge of SAP configuration will not
be properly transferred to the customer project team. This results in a higher total cost of ownership. In most cases, it is sound IT and business
practice for companies implementing SAP to cultivate configuration knowledge to
reduce the total cost of ownership and to support the system once live. Thus, Level 3 training has a direct impact
to the success of the project.
