Executing Transformations and Monitoring Progress

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to execute the planned transformations and continuously monitor progress.

Realize, Deploy & Run

In Phase 4, the key work in SAP LeanIX is to execute all agreed-upon Transformations and Impacts for the chosen transformation scenario. The advantage of working with Architecture and Roadmap Planning is that you have already modeled out all possible transformations on the Application and Initiatives level. Now, you "only" need to press the button to execute them. From this point onwards, SAP LeanIX will serve as a tool to monitor the ongoing progress of your transformation, helping you keep track of developments and changes in this long-term journey with moving targets. In this last phase, the goals are to:

  • Execute Transformations and Impacts.
  • Create transparency and communicate progress.
  • Reflect on architecture changes that have been implemented to understand what has happened and what is to come.

Step 1. Execute Implemented Transformation to Keep Track of Progress

As soon as important project milestones are achieved, make sure that this is reflected in the architecture. With the SAP LeanIX Architecture and Roadmap Planning, you can easily apply the planned impacts to your architecture by executing the Transformations.

Step 2. Regularly Monitor the Impacts of Transformations on the Application Landscape

Using the Application Landscape Report and applying the Impact Type view, you can understand how the landscape has changed and been affected through the planned transformation.

Step 3. Report and Communicate

As in the previous phases, you will evolve your dashboards for the different stakeholder groups and leverage the above reports to share key insights.

Hands-On: Realize, Deploy & Run: Execute Transformations and Continuously Monitor

Your task to be conducted in your groups demo workspace: Execute transformations, measure and monitor progress using SAP LeanIX.

Steps

  1. Execute Implemented Transformation to Keep Track of Progress

    • On the business capability fact sheet, execute the transformations.

      Note

      As soon as important project milestones are achieved, make sure that this is reflected in the architecture.
  2. Regularly Monitor the Impacts of Transformations on the Application Landscape

    • Open your "to-be application landscape" report and apply the Impact Type view.
    • Save as new report "Impact type view of to be application landscape".

  3. Report and Communicate

    • Add the new report to your dashboard.
    • Finalize your dashboard and prepare for your final presentation.
      • Ensure your dashboard includes all relevant information to support a strong presentation.

        Note

        Consider how you can stand out from other groups to make your presentation more impactful. E.g. include further reports, images or additional KPIs.
      • Discuss with your group how to divide the presentation.

        Note

        All members must contribute to the final presentation.
