sap-kickoff

Trigger project kickoff for a new SAP engagement — generates a full project charter with scope, governance structure, RACI matrix, and risk register.

/sap-kickoff

Invokes the project-kickoff skill to structure and document the start of an SAP project or phase. Enforces that scope, governance, roles, and risks are defined before any delivery work begins. Produces a client-ready project charter.

Usage

/sap-kickoff [project name]

Arguments:

  • [project name] — The name or brief description of the project. Additional context (client, modules, deployment model) will be gathered through the skill's structured intake process.

Examples:

  • /sap-kickoff Acme Group S/4HANA Greenfield — Phase 1 Discovery
  • /sap-kickoff RetailCo RISE with SAP migration — FI CO MM SD
  • /sap-kickoff BTP Integration Layer for HealthCo — Phase 2 Realize

What Happens

  1. The project-kickoff skill activates and runs a structured intake — project type, client details, scope, team size, deployment model, timeline.
  2. The skill enforces governance definition before proceeding — steering committee, decision authority, escalation paths must be named.
  3. RACI matrix is built for all key roles: workstream leads, client counterparts, SI team, hyperscaler contacts.
  4. Risks are identified and rated using a probability/impact matrix — not listed generically.
  5. Success criteria and measurable outcomes are captured explicitly.
  6. The skill chains to estimation skill if effort has not yet been confirmed.
  7. Output is a structured project charter file ready for client review.
