End-to-end implementation best practice

Follow the best practice process for using SAP Cloud ALM to implement a project from end-to-end.

  1. Start with the introductory guide(opens in new tab) * (updated October 2026) to understand what needs to be considered before diving into the detailed modules for each phase.
  2. Browse through each tab below to access the material needed for every team member to prepare and execute each project phase.
  3. Look for the sparkle icon on the process diagrams to find where AI (agents) are available. Open the guide and use the table of contents to navigate to the relevant slides — look for purple sparkle or Joule icons for sample prompts, and guidance on who uses AI and when.

 

 

* Powerpoint versions of the best practice guides are available at SAP Build Workzone in the SAP Cloud ALM for Implementation - Training Material Workspace. Request access by sending an email to cloudalm@sap.com.

The diagrams can also be viewed in SAP Signavio Process Navigator(opens in new tab) and used in SAP Cloud ALM.
