SAP PS Implementation and Best Practices

Implementation

Implementing SAP Project System (PS) involves several steps to ensure a successful
implementation. Here is a general overview of the steps involved in implementing SAP
PS from beginning to end:

1. Project Preparation: a. Define project objectives and scope. b. Identify key


stakeholders and form a project team. c. Conduct a feasibility study and assess
the readiness for SAP PS implementation. d. Develop a project plan, timeline, and
budget.
2. Business Blueprint: a. Conduct a detailed analysis of existing business processes
and requirements. b. Identify gaps between current processes and SAP PS
functionalities. c. Define the future processes and requirements. d. Create a
comprehensive business blueprint document that outlines the scope, processes,
and configuration requirements.
3. System Configuration: a. Configure SAP PS system based on the defined business
blueprint. b. Customize the system settings to align with the organization's
specific needs. c. Define project structures, WBS elements, activity types, network
types, cost elements, and other relevant master data. d. Set up integration points
with other SAP modules or external systems.
4. Development and Testing: a. Develop any necessary enhancements or
customizations to meet specific requirements. b. Conduct unit testing to ensure
the configured system meets the defined specifications. c. Perform integration
testing to verify the integration with other modules and external systems. d.
Conduct user acceptance testing (UAT) to involve end users and validate the
system against real-world scenarios. e. Address any issues or gaps identified
during testing and make necessary adjustments.
5. Data Migration: a. Plan the data migration strategy, including data extraction,
cleansing, and transformation. b. Migrate relevant data from legacy systems to
the SAP PS system, ensuring data accuracy and integrity. c. Validate the migrated
data against the original source and perform reconciliation.
6. Training and User Enablement: a. Develop training materials and conduct training
sessions for end users. b. Train users on SAP PS functionalities, processes, and
best practices. c. Provide ongoing support and guidance to users during the
training period.
7. Change Management and Communication: a. Develop a change management
strategy to manage the transition to the new system. b. Communicate the
benefits of SAP PS to stakeholders and address any concerns or resistance. c.
Implement change management activities, such as communication plans,
stakeholder engagement, and user adoption strategies.
8. Deployment and Go-Live: a. Prepare the system for production use by finalizing
configurations, data, and user roles. b. Conduct a final system readiness check
and ensure all necessary prerequisites are met. c. Execute a cutover plan to
transition from the legacy system to the SAP PS system. d. Perform thorough
testing and verification in the production environment. e. Go live with SAP PS,
making it available for day-to-day project management.
9. Post-Go-Live Support and Optimization: a. Provide post-go-live support to
address any immediate issues or user concerns. b. Monitor system performance,
user feedback, and key metrics. c. Continuously optimize and improve SAP PS
processes based on feedback and lessons learned. d. Conduct periodic system
maintenance, including upgrades and patches.

It's important to note that the specific steps and timeline may vary depending on the
organization's requirements, complexity, and implementation approach. Working with
experienced SAP consultants or partners can help ensure a smooth and successful SAP
PS implementation.
