What is the added value of a high-level change impact analysis? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
A. It reveals key project risks that can be integrated into the project's risk management at an early stage.
B. It provides an initial systematic overview of the amount and the nature of the upcoming changes.
C. It enables the project manager to identify opponents in highly impacted units and adjust the stakeholder analysis accordingly.
D. It allows the change manager to derive appropriate activities, focusing the resources on key action areas.
E. It delivers input for communication activities, making the implications of the project more tangible.
Explanation:
A high-level change impact analysis is conducted early in an SAP project to understand the scope, scale, and areas of impact before detailed planning begins. Its main added value is to enable proactive OCM planning and risk mitigation.
A. Correct
– By identifying areas where changes are significant, the analysis reveals potential adoption risks that can be incorporated into the project’s overall risk management plan, ensuring early attention to challenges.
B. Correct
– It provides a systematic overview of the scale and nature of changes, helping the project team and change managers understand which business units, roles, or processes will be affected and how.
D. Correct
– The insights from the high-level impact analysis allow the change manager to plan and prioritize OCM activities, focusing limited resources on the most critical areas that drive adoption and minimize resistance.
❌ Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
C. Incorrect –
While it can inform stakeholder considerations, identifying opponents in highly impacted units is typically part of detailed stakeholder analysis done later, not the primary purpose of high-level change impact analysis.
E. Incorrect –
Providing input for communication is important but high-level analysis focuses on change scope and risk, not on crafting communications, which comes later in the OCM planning phase.

B. Correct – Enablement advisory provides guidance, coaching, and best practices to help project teams design and deliver effective learning and adoption activities. It also includes evaluation to measure enablement effectiveness and continuously improve adoption.
D. Correct – Enablement planning establishes the foundation for all enablement efforts, including developing an enablement strategy and conducting a learning needs analysis for both project team members and end users. This ensures that enablement activities are targeted, relevant, and aligned with project objectives.
❌ Why the Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Incorrect – While execution (content development and delivery) is important, it is considered part of implementation of enablement, not a core element of SAP’s integrated enablement approach, which focuses on planning and advisory.
C. Incorrect – Enablement infrastructure (administration, systems, support) supports enablement delivery but is not a core element of SAP’s integrated enablement methodology. It is more of an operational enabler than a strategic component.
