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.

Discussion guide
16–20

Most checks are complete. Review any remaining high-risk gaps.

10–15

Several checks need attention. Assign actions and owners before planning the next stage.

0–9

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.

01

Business outcomes

The business case defines the results and responsibilities.

02

Process & field work

The design reflects how work is planned and executed in reality.

03

Asset data & integration

Information ownership supports trusted operational decisions.

04

Platform & clean core

The technology path remains supportable and adaptable.

05

Delivery & adoption

The organisation is ready to turn technology into changed work.
