SAP Delivery Factory

This skill orchestrates the production of all deliverables for an SAP Activate phase in a single coordinated run. It is not a skill — it is a factory that invokes skills, manages their inputs/outputs, tracks deliverable status, and scores quality.

What makes this different: Individual skills produce individual artifacts. The factory produces a complete, cross-referenced, quality-scored deliverable package — what a consulting firm bills $50K-$500K to create manually.

Iron Laws

1. EVERY PHASE HAS A MANDATORY DELIVERABLE SET. You cannot mark a phase complete with missing deliverables. The factory knows exactly what each phase requires — no cherry-picking, no "we'll do that later."

1. DELIVERABLES CHAIN — OUTPUT OF ONE IS INPUT TO THE NEXT. The project charter feeds estimation. Estimation feeds architecture. Architecture feeds development. The factory manages these dependencies automatically.

1. QUALITY IS SCORED, NOT ASSUMED. Every deliverable gets a maturity score (L1-L5). The factory reports aggregate quality per phase. You ship when quality meets the threshold — not when you run out of time.

1. CONTEXT FLOWS ACROSS SKILLS. Industry, country, SAP version, project scope — set once, applied everywhere. A retail project in Germany gets different templates than a pharma project in India.

1. THE FACTORY NEVER PRODUCES EMPTY TEMPLATES. Templates pre-filled with project context, industry defaults, country-specific regulatory items, and SAP version-appropriate recommendations. The consultant refines — they don't start from blank.

Phase Pipelines

DISCOVER Phase

Command: /sap-deliver discover Duration: 1-2 weeks equivalent Deliverables produced:

Dependency chain: D1 → D2 → D3 → D4 → D5 Phase gate: All 5 deliverables at L2+ quality. Stakeholder sign-off on scope.

PREPARE Phase

Command: /sap-deliver prepare Prerequisites: DISCOVER phase complete Deliverables produced:

Dependency chain: P1 ∥ P2 (parallel) → P3 → P4 → P5 Phase gate: All 5 deliverables at L3+ quality. Budget approved.

EXPLORE Phase

Command: /sap-deliver explore Prerequisites: PREPARE phase complete Deliverables produced:

Dependency chain: E1 → E2 → E3, and E4 ∥ E5 ∥ E6 (parallel) Phase gate: All gaps resolved or accepted. Functional specs signed off.

REALIZE Phase

Command: /sap-deliver realize Prerequisites: EXPLORE phase complete Deliverables produced:

Dependency chain: R1 → R2 → R3 → R4 → R5 ∥ R6 Phase gate: All code ATC-clean. SIT passed. Training materials reviewed.

DEPLOY Phase

Command: /sap-deliver deploy Prerequisites: REALIZE phase complete Deliverables produced:

Dependency chain: Y1 → Y2 → Y4 → Y3 → Y5 Phase gate: Go/No-Go decision GREEN. All transports imported.

RUN Phase

Command: /sap-deliver run Prerequisites: DEPLOY phase complete Deliverables produced:

Phase gate: Hypercare exit criteria met. Knowledge transferred.

Quality Scoring

Every deliverable is scored on a 5-level maturity model:

Phase completion thresholds:

• DISCOVER: All deliverables at L2+
• PREPARE: All deliverables at L3+
• EXPLORE: All deliverables at L3+
• REALIZE: All deliverables at L4+
• DEPLOY: All deliverables at L4+
• RUN: All deliverables at L3+

Context Injection

The factory injects project context into every deliverable:

PROJECT CONTEXT (set once, used everywhere)
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Client:       [Client name]
Project:      [Project name]
SAP Version:  [From .sap-superpowers/config.json]
ABAP Release: [From config]
Industry:     [Loads industry/{name}.md]
Country:      [Loads country/{name}.md]
Modules:      [In-scope SAP modules]
Timeline:     [Project start → go-live]
Team Size:    [Number of consultants]

Industry context auto-populates:

• Module-specific processes relevant to the industry
• Regulatory requirements for the country
• Common customizations for the industry
• Risk patterns typical for the industry/country combination

Factory Status Report

SAP DELIVERY FACTORY — PROJECT STATUS
═══════════════════════════════════════
Project: [Name] | Client: [Name]
Industry: [Name] | Country: [Name]
SAP: [Version] | Release: [ABAP release]

PHASE STATUS
────────────
[✅] DISCOVER  — 5/5 deliverables (avg L3.2)
[✅] PREPARE   — 5/5 deliverables (avg L3.8)
[🔄] EXPLORE   — 3/6 deliverables (avg L2.5)  ← CURRENT
[ ] REALIZE   — 0/6 deliverables
[ ] DEPLOY    — 0/5 deliverables
[ ] RUN       — 0/5 deliverables

DELIVERABLE DETAIL (EXPLORE)
────────────────────────────
[L3 ✅] E1 Fit/Gap Matrix
[L3 ✅] E2 Process Designs (MM, SD, FI)
[L2 🔄] E3 Functional Specifications — 4/7 modules complete
[L1 ⏳] E4 Data Migration Strategy — draft started
[ ] E5 Test Strategy
[ ] E6 Integration Architecture

NEXT ACTION: Complete E3 (functional specs for PP, PM, QM)

Verification

This skill is complete when:

• [ ] All deliverables for the target phase are produced
• [ ] Each deliverable meets the phase quality threshold
• [ ] Cross-references between deliverables are consistent
• [ ] Factory status report produced
• [ ] Next phase prerequisites documented
