Practical resource · 20 checks
EAM readiness checklist
Use this before a roadmap, S/4HANA programme, field-work redesign or investment decision. It helps expose the gaps most likely to undermine value later.
Most checks are complete. Review any remaining high-risk gaps.
Several checks need attention. Assign actions and owners before planning the next stage.
Many checks remain. Review process, data and delivery gaps before setting the programme scope.
These equal-weight bands are indicative discussion prompts, not validated readiness thresholds. Review individual risks and evidence regardless of the total.
How to use it
Check each item against available evidence.
Tick an item only when the answer is supported by agreed evidence. One point per item. Record the three gaps with the greatest operational consequence, then assign an owner and next decision.
Business outcomes
The business case defines the results and responsibilities.
Process & field work
The design reflects how work is planned and executed in reality.
Asset data & integration
Information ownership supports trusted operational decisions.
Platform & clean core
The technology path remains supportable and adaptable.
Delivery & adoption
The organisation is ready to turn technology into changed work.

This checklist is general discussion guidance, not a validated performance measure, audit, certification or substitute for an assessment of your organisation, systems, obligations and operating context.
