In this module, you will learn about RISE with SAP and the Implementing an SAP Solution phase of the SAP Implementation Lifecycle. You will learn about your role as a Technology Consultant in collaborating with stakeholder teams to configure and implement the technical solution and for training users and stakeholders. You will understand the preparation needed for conducting a dry run of the solution and how to deploy the technical solution. As a Technology Consultant, you will work with other SAP professionals to develop functional and UAT test plans and use cases. In this module, you will learn about the QA testing processes and monitoring of the implemented solution in the production environment. You will also gain an understanding of your role as a subject matter expert, reviewer, and train-the-trainer for user training. You will understand how to provide post-implementation support, conduct post-implementation review sessions, and present the review report and roadmap for future enhancements to the customer.

In this module, you will learn about setting up system environments to prepare for implementation. You will understand your role in collaborating with different stakeholder teams to prepare the environments for implementation and leverage the Technical Solution document for configuring the required test environments. You will gain an understanding of a typical infrastructure setup required for system environments, how to cleanse and anonymize data for testing, and the privacy and compliance considerations you need to factor. You will learn about the role of automation tools in automating the management of test and system environments. In this module, you will also walk through the steps for setting up containers using Docker and deploying a Docker image to Kubernetes using a delivery pipeline.

In this module, you will learn how to use SAP Best Practice Explorer and guides for baseline configurations and integrations. You will learn how to implement the process and data model, the technical and functional solution, the platform, architecture, integrations, and security. You will understand how to configure the functional design and settings and implement integrations across A2A and B2B scenarios. You will learn how to develop cutover and roll-back plans, user and stakeholder communication plans, testing signoff plans, operational handover plan, and post-production support plans. You will also learn how best to schedule and conduct a dry run or dress rehearsal of the technical solution prior to go live.

In this module, you will learn best practices for communicating and presenting the Technical Design Solution and implementation roadmap to your customer stakeholders and decision-makers. You will learn how to incorporate customer feedback in your solution and manage design limitations through the implementation roadmap before you move for a sign-off on the solution and the roadmap. The sign-off is followed by finalizing the proposed architecture, associated tools, and the proposed Bill of Materials before you finally move into the execution, configuration, and testing phase of the SAP implementation lifecycle.

In this module, you will learn about the Go Live and production system activities. You will learn about some of the monitoring activities that need to be performed for an SAP implementation in production. These include providing post-implementation support, responding to user feedback, validating customer technical support requirements for post-production, and preparing to transition the system to customer operational teams. You will learn how to conduct and document the post-implementation review session based on which the handover plan and post-production roadmap is created. Based on the handover plan, the system is then handed over to the customer technical and operational teams, followed by the post-implementation signoff processes and project wrap-up.

You will be provided with an Organization Case study that describes how a set of applications for collaboration and data analysis is built. You will evaluate how those applications should be tested and you will determine the inputs required for a test plan. You will create a go/no-go decision matrix based on parameters provided to you. To put your learning into practice you'll review the assessment submission of two (2) peers using the peer review rubric provided.
