This page explains the four-phase process for the 30-day FIT 4 SAP Proof of Concept prototype validation. In short, the Pre-PoC questionnaire defines scope boundaries, the 30-day delivery sprint produces a working prototype with governance artefacts, and the final review determines the go/no-go/redesign decision. It matters because a fixed process prevents scope creep and forces the truth to surface before major commitment. Use it when evaluating how the FIT 4 SAP PoC engagement actually runs or when comparing it to traditional pilot approaches.

This page walks through the four phases of a FIT 4 SAP engagement: from initial questionnaire through scope agreement, delivery sprint, and final decision point. Each phase has clear entry criteria, defined deliverables, and explicit exit conditions that prevent drift.

The Four-Phase Process

Phase 1: Pre-PoC Conversation (Week -2) Phase 2: Scope Agreement (Week -1) Phase 3: 30-Day Delivery Sprint (Weeks 1-4) Phase 4: Review & Decision Point (End of Week 4)

Each phase must be completed before the next begins. No phase starts until the entry criteria are met. No exceptions.

Phase 1: Pre-PoC Conversation

Filter for fit before commitment.

The executive downloads the questionnaire from the main No Tie Generation website. These questions are designed to reveal the complexity hiding in plain sight.

Example questions: • Do you have intercompany transactions? • Do you invoice customers in multiple currencies? • Do you manufacture to order or to stock? • Do you use customer-specific pricing rules?

If answers reveal the scope is too large for 30 days, the conversation stops, or the scope narrows. Mutual respect for time prevents bad-fit engagements.

Purpose: Surface hidden complexity early, set realistic expectations, and filter prospects who need longer validation.

Key deliverable: Completed questionnaire and initial scope discussion.

Exit criteria: Both parties agree the prototype is feasible OR agree it's not the right fit.

Governance principle: No surprises. Complexity is visible before commitment.

Phase 2: Scope Agreement

Lock the boundaries before Day 1 begins.
