Structuring the explore phase
We have already discussed the phases of SAP Activate in the previous chapters. Let's take a closer look at the explore phase and map it to agile. With the explore phase, SAP Activate facilitates frequent inspection that allows the project team to check customer expectations and build a baseline. It also facilitates the fast demonstration of SAP standards and performs early visualization. The main idea is to create a business value focused backlog. Let's see each sub-component of the explore phase one by one (we will only look at the agile perspective).
One of the key blocks of the explore phase is a solution validation workshop. With a solution validation workshop, it is possible to:
- Perform early adaptation of sprint principles
- Perform a solution demo
- Create a solution documentation produced in Sprints and organized through a business process hierarchy
- Visualization of solution
- Align design approach with business values
- Prioritize product backlogs
- Learn documentation...
