Roadmap 

Purpose

The Roadmaps are part of the SAP Solution Manager. They contain the standard SAP implementation methodology and cover the most important aspects and phases of a SAP implementation. The Roadmaps provide links to accelerators and tools which perform project tasks.

Integration

If you have assigned a Roadmap to your project in the Project Administration, the milestones of the selected Roadmap are displayed in the Milestones tab in the Project Administration.

Features

View without project link

If you have not yet defined a project in the SAP Solution Manager, or your project is not yet assigned to a Roadmap, the Solution Manager offers you a selection of Roadmaps without project link, when you first call it.

To go from a Roadmap with project link to a Roadmap without project link, choose Other Project ® No Project and choose a Roadmap.

Roadmaps without project link are display-only.

You can:

·        Navigate in the structure

·        Search for entries in the Roadmap structure

·        Display assigned documents and accelerators

·        Milestones identify the project phases

·        Service packs identify links to the SAP Service Marketplace with information about suitable SAP services

·        Filter the Roadmap structure by roles, topics or flavors

·        Print documents or structures with their documents

·        Download the Roadmap as offline (HTML) version

View with project link

Other Project goes to the Roadmap which was assigned to your project in the Project Administration.

If you use a Roadmap in your implementation project, you can use the following functions as well as the Roadmap without project link functions:

·        Assign keywords for the Roadmap structure elements

·        Assign a status for the Roadmap structure elements

·        Assign project team members to structure elements

·        Filter the Roadmap structure by keywords and project team members assigned
