- Research and select a common HR business process suitable for SAP Success Factors integration.
- Perform a gap analysis to recognize areas of improvement.
- Document specific needs from the business perspective and translate these into functional requirements.
- Structure the document into sections such as introduction, analysis, requirements, and recommendations.
- Incorporate visual aids that clarify the process and requirements.
Evaluation Criteria
Your work will be judged based on the depth of analysis, clarity in requirement articulation, and the overall structure and presentation of the document.
It is estimated that this task will require between 30 and 35 hours to complete due to the detailed analysis and documentation required.
Objective
This assignment centers on the technical and configuration aspects of SAP Success Factors. You will simulate the configuration of a specific module within SAP Success Factors. Your task is to design a detailed simulation report showing how to configure the module, the challenges you might face, and the corresponding solutions. This task aims at strengthening your technical and problem-solving skills.
Expected Deliverables
Your deliverable is a DOC file that includes a step-by-step simulation report, configuration walkthroughs, and screenshots or diagrams to illustrate the process. The document should contain a configuration overview, a module-specific configuration guide, explanation of common challenges and troubleshooting strategies, and a final summary of your simulation.
Key Steps
- Identify a suitable module within SAP Success Factors for configuration.
- Research standard configuration practices using publicly available information.
- Create a structured document detailing the configuration steps, expected outputs, and potential difficulties.
- Generate diagrams or flowcharts to visually represent the configuration process.
- Summarize the experience and findings in a clear and coherent manner.
Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation will be based on the accuracy of steps, detail in the configuration process, quality of visual aids, clarity in troubleshooting approaches, and overall presentation of the DOC file.
This task is tailored to require 30 to 35 hours of dedicated work ensuring proper coverage of all technical details and challenges.
Objective
The purpose of this task is to develop a detailed training and user adoption strategy for a newly implemented SAP Success Factors solution. You are expected to design a strategy that focuses on ensuring that end-users are adequately trained and inclined to adopt the new system. This task combines both technical understanding and people management skills, critical for a Junior SAP Success Factors Consultant.
Expected Deliverables
You are required to produce a DOC file that includes a thorough training and adoption plan. The document should include an overview of training needs analysis, development of training materials outlines, a communication strategy for user adoption, and recommendations for post-implementation support. Ensure that the strategy is supported with visual aids such as training flowcharts, timelines, and checklists.
Key Steps
- Research training best practices and user adoption strategies in similar ERP systems.
- Develop a training needs analysis focusing on key user groups.
- Create a detailed training plan that outlines methods, tools, and timelines for delivering training sessions.
- Design a user adoption strategy focusing on communication, engagement, and support measures.
- Include visual elements like timelines and flowcharts to enhance clarity.
Evaluation Criteria
Your submission will be graded based on the comprehensiveness of the training and adoption strategy, the clarity of the plan, the feasibility of recommendations, and the overall presentation and structure of the DOC file.
This task is estimated to demand approximately 30 to 35 hours of focused effort to develop a robust strategy.
Objective
This final task is designed to combine your learning in strategy, implementation, and training to evaluate the performance of a deployed SAP Success Factors solution. You will perform a simulated analysis of system performance, identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and propose actionable process improvements. This task emphasizes critical evaluation and optimization skills, key competencies for a Junior SAP Success Factors Consultant.
Expected Deliverables
Submit a DOC file containing a detailed system performance evaluation report. The report should include an introduction to performance evaluation methods, analysis of simulated performance metrics, identification of areas needing improvement, and a set of actionable recommendations. Visual aids like graphs, process maps, and performance trend charts should be used to support your findings.
Key Steps
- Research performance evaluation frameworks commonly used in ERP implementations.
- Outline hypothetical performance metrics that are critical to SAP Success Factors efficiency.
- Conduct a simulated performance analysis by creating a scenario-based evaluation report.
- Identify potential bottlenecks and document areas which can be further optimized.
- Develop a set of process improvement recommendations with a clear plan for follow-up checks.
Evaluation Criteria
You will be evaluated on the logical flow of the analysis, the depth of insight in identifying performance issues, the practicality of improvement recommendations, and the overall clarity of the presentation document.
