Readiness acceptance Q-Gate deliverables

The deliverables for the readiness acceptance Q-Gate are completed throughout the realize and verify phases. Some data migration activities begin as early as the prepare road:

The readiness acceptance Q- Gate is done once the project team decides that the system, resources or people, and data are ready to proceed with the cutover into the production tenant:

• Project management stream: The project execution deliverable is repeated as the project manager continues with project status meetings, status reports, and risk management.
• Data migration stream: The data is first extracted from the legacy system and cleansed, then Loaded for testing.
• Integration setup stream: It's started in the test tenant. Once the solution testing deliverables are successfully completed, then the setup is repeated in the production tenant.
• Solution testing stream: This begins with the customer preparing all the testing documentation. Then, the customer fully tests all end-to-end scenarios using migrated data. This should include analytics, forms, user access, integration, and custom solution extensions.
• Cutover planning stream: The project team begins to prepare for the cutover by identifying and scheduling the necessary tasks and resources.

An example of a plugin for the readiness acceptance Q-Gate is when a partner builds a custom solution extension for SAP cloud for travel and expense.

Here again, an agile approach allows for several iterations of data migration, integration set-up, and solution testing prior to executing the readiness acceptance Q-Gate. All testing issues must be resolved or an alternative solution identified before completing the Q-Gate.
