Project Plan
Introduction
KKAE is an industrial company that is undergoing an SAP implementation the rollout has just commenced and an external demerger has resulted in the need to finish the project. Weeks earlier than expected and at less cost. This deliverable aims to show the procedures of how KKAE Pty. Ltd. achieved the earlier finish date at a lower cost. The change in go-live is based upon a set of business assumptions.
