Delivery Factory

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

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

EXPLORE Phase

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:

| # | Deliverable | Skill Invoked | Agents Dispatched | |---|-------------|---------------|-------------------| | R1 | Technical Specifications | program-to-spec or code-generation | sap-doc-generator | | R2 | Developed Objects (code) | autopilot | Full team (parallel) | | R3 | Unit Test Results | self-correcting-loop | sap-test-designer | | R4 | Code Review Reports | code-review | sap-reviewer, sap-security-auditor | | R5 | SIT Test Scripts & Results | testing-strategy | sap-test-designer | | R6 | Training Materials | module skills | sap-doc-generator |

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:

| # | Deliverable | Skill Invoked | Agents Dispatched | |---|-------------|---------------|-------------------| | Y1 | Data Migration Plan & Results | data-migration | sap-data-analyst | | Y2 | Cutover Runbook | cutover-planning | — | | Y3 | Go-Live Readiness Assessment | go-live-readiness | Full team (parallel) | | Y4 | UAT Results & Sign-Off | testing-strategy | sap-test-designer | | Y5 | Transport Release Log | transport-release | — |

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:

| # | Deliverable | Skill Invoked | Agents Dispatched | |---|-------------|---------------|-------------------| | N1 | Hypercare Plan | hypercare | — | | N2 | Daily Status Reports | hypercare | — | | N3 | Value Realization Report | value-advisory | sap-value-calculator | | N4 | Lessons Learned | hypercare | — | | N5 | Knowledge Transfer Log | hypercare | sap-doc-generator |

Phase gate: Hypercare exit criteria met. Knowledge transferred.

Quality Scoring

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

| Level | Name | Definition | Evidence | |-------|------|-----------|----------| | L1 | Draft | Structure created, sections identified, placeholders present | File exists with correct structure | | L2 | Working | Content filled for all sections, no placeholders remaining | All sections have substantive content | | L3 | Reviewed | Peer reviewed, gaps identified and resolved | Review comments addressed | | L4 | Approved | Client/stakeholder sign-off ready | Meets all hard gate criteria | | L5 | Baselined | Signed off, version-controlled, change-managed | Sign-off record exists |

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
