Top Tips
• Aim for consistency in Project Structures –consistency builds efficiency and reduces risk –use Project Templates
• Consider Project Management (project activities) and Project Cost Management when agreeing project structures
Top Tips
• Capture the right data – use the available PS objects – WBS elements, networks, network activities, materials, project resources, standard and custom fields – to enhance project execution
• Despite the ability to be flexible, keep the structures as simple as possible
Top Tips
• Plan at the right level – SAP supports planning (budgeting) at various levels of the Project Structure and Investment Management structures
• Choose the planning level that gives a good level of detail without being onerous to maintain
Top Tips
• Actively control spending through Budget Functionality and/ or active reporting
Top Tips
• Used focussed reporting to manage the project pipeline
Implementation Considerations
• How detailed do Project Structures need to be – consider WBS and Networks
• Business processes to manage the project – project structure, project statuses, dates, project resources, project financials
• Value of controls that could be implemented – Investment Management, Appropriation Requests, Plans, Budgets
• Could the annual budget cycle benefit from Investment Management for more structure and control
Implementation Considerations
• What cost elements will be relevant for different types of projects
• What type of costs will be managed on Projects –CAPEX and/ or OPEX
• How to integrate into existing modules – e.g. PM, CCA, CATS
