在过去几年中，SAP Activate 方法论对SAP S/4HANA Cloud 的部署指导不断完善。借助标准业务流程内容，建立决策机制，是顺利启动您的项目， 加快实现价值的核心。 Fit-to-Standard（标准流程适配）：在需要的地方灵活，在关键位置加速 在做标准流程适配时，首先把SAP 提供的业务流程内容, 在项目早期， 部署到客户的初始系统（Starter System）中。 然后，由项目团队和业务用户，在初始系统里体验并评估系统中的标准业务流程。SAP目前提供，公共云和私有云，两套预配置内容，供客户选择使用。 这种使用初始系统的方法能够让业务用户在设计决策确定之前，真实地体验到公司一些部门里的流程，了解有关主数据和交易数据的状态。这样，用户可以了解解决方案的行为，以及在系统设置为生产使用时可以使用到的功能。SAP Activate 方法中有详细介绍Fit-to-Standard（标准流程适配）研讨会指南，遵循图 1 中显示的六个步骤流程。如果您需要在远程执行，可以使用playbook计划， 通过远程协作工具和视频会议来完成。 图1：Fit-to-standard （标准流程适配）研讨会中所使用的六个步骤 建立决策机制，保障您的成功 在部署 SAP S/4HANA Cloud期间，项目团队需要制定许多设计决策，有时很难遵守“标准优先”思维模式。所以，我们鼓励客户的项目团队建立有效的决策机制，帮助推动“标准第一”的信条。客户应利用Solution Standardization Board（标准化方案决策委员会）的流程框架，参看下图2，帮助引导设计决策，使用现代技术，构建一个稳固的系统。 图2：Solution Standardization Board决策树 如何开始您的SAP Activate之旅？ 建议您浏览 SAP Activate的路线图查看器。它涵盖您部署之旅的所有关键方面，每个项目团队成员都将找到有助于他们在部署项目期间执行工作的信息。该方法里每个路线图都构建为阶段、交付内容和任务的层次结构，每个交付内容和任务至少分配到一个工作流。将工作流视为逻辑领域（如项目管理、数据管理或应用程序设计和配置）中的工作线程，为用户提供其专业领域的所有交付内容以及相应的任务。
