🚀 Early Collaboration: The Key to Data Success in SAP Projects!

🤔 How early should key data experts start collaborating? Have you set it up correctly, and can you spot potential issues?

💡 Here’s what you need to know:

🔑 Dynamic Duo: Your Master Data Lead and their SAP expert counterpart hold the keys to future master data definition and processes. This partnership also provides an invaluable opportunity for knowledge transfer as a natural part of their work! 📚💼

Now, let’s explore how these roles — along with your data migration leads — should work together for project success. 🚀

⚠️ Avoid the Calamity: Imagine this setup 👇Functional leads write data migration specifications during the Explore phase, then toss them to the technical team in the Realize phase, as if these tasks were entirely sequential and separate. We’ve all seen project plans laid out like this, as it follows traditional methodologies… but here’s the catch: Success depends on thinking outside the box! 🧠🚧

🛠 Guiding Principle: Plan for an intensely collaborative and iterative process that capitalizes on the strengths of each role. Keep things simple, and most importantly — start early! ⏰📝
