During which SAP Activate methodology phase is the Transformation Strategy completed?

The Transformation Strategy is completed during the Prepare phase of the SAP Activate methodology. This phase is crucial as it establishes the foundational elements necessary for a successful project. The objectives in this phase include defining project goals, understanding the scope, and aligning the stakeholders on the overall strategy for the transformation.

In this phase, organizations assess their current state and identify the desired future state, which then informs the development of a comprehensive Transformation Strategy. This strategy outlines how the organization will move from their existing setup to the new implementation model, taking into account factors such as processes, technology, and organizational change management.

Completing the Transformation Strategy in the Prepare phase ensures that all subsequent phases—Explore, Realize, and Deploy—are aligned with the overall vision and objectives, which enhances coherence and focus throughout the project lifecycle.
