Attend Level 3 Training and Assess Post-Training Skills

Use

The purpose of this task is for each team member to attend the Level 3 courses. This training provides the applications, financial, and human resources project team members with the many options provided by the SAP System.

After this training is completed, you may want to conduct post-training assessment to ensure that training has been completed successfully and that project team members are ready for Realization activities.

Procedure

  1. Set project team member expectations for what they will learn during the training.
    People new to system implementations sometimes have unrealistic expectations about what they will learn during training. Level 3 training describes the options provided by the SAP System in the business and technical areas. The project team member should be ready to begin configuring the System.
  2. Project team members attend SAP training classes either at your company site or at an SAP training facility.
  3. Although there is no formal test designed by SAP, you may want to have project team members begin discussing integration points, configuration needs, and how these features will influence the implementation. You may also question the project team members about how effective they thought the Level 3 training classes were.

Result

Project team members have been introduced to the business processes or technical features of the System. They are now ready to proceed to the Realization phase and take the Level 3 classes, which will teach them the detailed business processes and further technical applications of the SAP System. They can now use the project team training system (IDES) to reinforce what they learned and to extend their system knowledge.
