Solution acceptance Q-Gate deliverables

The deliverables for the solution acceptance Q-Gate are spread over the prepare and realize phases:

Here, the deliverables are focused on the realization of the agreed upon scope within the SAP solution. Let's see what is done or expected to be done in streams that are part of this Q-Gate:

• Project management stream: The project execution deliverable continues as the project manager continues with project status meetings, status reports, and risk management.
• Project team enablement stream: As soon as the project initiation happens, the enablement begins, as project team members receive numerous details to prepare for the project and work with the solution. Some of the enablement is delivered via workshops.
• Solution configuration stream: In this stream, the system is configured and tested using sample customer data. This includes the configuration of any relevant mobile devices and connections to external service providers.
• Solution walkthrough stream: It is used to demonstrate to the customer how his end-to-end process will look within his system. Many times, due to unavailability of all the components, a conceptual walkthrough can also be presented to the customer.

An agile approach allows for several iterations of solution configuration, testing, and walkthrough prior to executing the solution acceptance Q-Gate.
