A few pearls of wisdom about SAP implementation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Capturing the whirlwind: Your field guide for a successful SAP implementation (Second volume of the Whirlwind series) (Mass Market Paperback)
To many, Capturing the Whirlwind like Michael Doane's previous work In the Path of the Whirlwind is the gospel of SAP implementation. It certainly has value, but is more of a personal testament full of the author's opinions punctuated with loaded language. In a short space, Doane attempts to address several audiences and succeeds by including many nuggets of wisdom for project managers, implementers and super users of SAP. Many passages will receive hearty "amens" while others will get a "say what?" from experienced implementers.Daone is an experienced consultant with The Consulting Alliance. That experience carries with it a set of biases that are evident in his writing. He is, no surprise here, pro consultant and anti-big five at the same time. I find his anti-methodology bias questionable. His stance on deadlines is, in my opinion, extreme. That said, there is a lot to like about the book. His advise on selecting and getting the most out of consultants is on point. Doane's observations on the pitfalls of Gap Analysis with SAP are insightful. His direction on scope control is impressive. Executives and project managers considering or beginning to implement SAP should read this book, but not in isolation. Readers are urged to take a look at other books and listen to trusted advisors who are veterans of a few SAP campaigns before adopting all of Mr. Doane's advise.
