Agile, clear, focused: how Scrum transforms teams

14 July 2025

Between structure and change: how Scrum reimagines SAP® projects – and what we contribute

SAP® projects are demanding. This is rarely due to technology alone – it is usually about organization. Different departments, complex requirements, shifting goals: the reality of large SAP® initiatives often puts everything in motion at once.

It is precisely in these situations that Scrum creates a structure that does not constrain but provides orientation – across system boundaries, across teams, and in an iterative way.

And this is exactly where the work at sr‑cp begins.

Where we come from

Many SAP® projects still follow a classic logic: design, blueprint, implementation, testing, go‑live. Clear on paper – often challenging in practice. Because:

Requirements change along the way.
Business and IT do not speak the same language.
Project goals lose their sharpness.
Feedback loops come too late.

These challenges are not new – but they become more visible in an increasingly dynamic business environment.

So the question is not only: how do we implement a system?
But rather: how do we work as an organization on this change?

Why Scrum is the right fit

Scrum is more than a project tool. It is a framework for thinking that organizes change into clear, manageable steps:

with clearly defined roles and responsibilities
with short cycles that deliver tangible results
with regular alignment and feedback
with a focus on what truly creates value

In this way, Scrum not only brings structure to complex initiatives – it connects perspectives from IT, business, governance, and management.

Especially in SAP® projects, this becomes a decisive advantage.

What we at sr‑cp contribute

At sr‑cp, we support companies in making Scrum usable in SAP projects – regardless of their current maturity level or project phase. The task is not to repeat textbook theory, but to translate Scrum so that it becomes effective in the SAP® context:

across systems
across departments
with pragmatism and clarity

We help define roles clearly, build backlogs properly, bring iterations to life – and understand the project not as an obligation, but as a shared design challenge.

Real change begins where teams take ownership, reflect regularly, and learn together.

Where do we want to go?

SAP® projects will not become easier in the future – but they can be designed more meaningfully. With agile methods such as Scrum, projects can be steered more flexibly, results made visible more quickly, and resources used more deliberately.

This does not require a revolution. It requires a first step. And sometimes a team that accompanies that step.
