 The initial list of known integrations is documented in the Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire (BDCQ). The BDCQ is a tool that helps you to capture the business requirements and scope of your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition project. It contains a series of questions that cover different aspects of your business processes, such as organizational structure, master data, configuration settings, and integration scenarios. The BDCQ also provides guidance on the best practices and recommendations for your project12.

One of the sections in the BDCQ is the Integration section, where you can document the initial list of known integrations that are relevant for your project. The Integration section contains questions about the integration scenarios that you want to enable, such as cross-system process integration, data replication, data migration, and third-party integration. The Integration section also provides information on the available integration options, such as SAP Cloud Platform Integration, SAP API Business Hub, and SAP Cloud ALM13.

The initial list of known integrations is important for your project, as it helps you to identify the integration requirements, dependencies, and risks that need to be considered in the project planning and execution. The initial list of known integrations also helps you to select the appropriate integration tools and methods, and to align the integration scope with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition roadmap and release cycles13.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, as the initial list of known integrations is documented in the BDCQ. References = 1 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Help Portal 2 Business Driven Configuration Questionnaire - SAP Community 3 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Integration - SAP Help Portal

Side-by-side extensibility leverages the capabilities of the SAP Business Technology Platform, such as SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Services, SAP Cloud Platform Business Rules, SAP Cloud Platform Integration, and SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory. References = Utilizing the Clean Core Strategy and Extensibility Tools; Using Side-by-Side Extensibility with SAP Business Technology Platform

In different deployment models, the responsibility for application management varies, with the customer typically taking on more responsibility in certain models:

Platform as a Service (PaaS): In this model, the customer is responsible for managing the applications they develop or deploy on the platform, even though the provider manages the underlying infrastructure, operating systems, and middleware.

On premise: In an on-premise deployment, the customer has full responsibility for managing both the applications and the infrastructure they run on. This includes maintenance, updates, security, and compliance for both the applications and the hardware/software infrastructure.

Private Cloud: Similar to on-premise deployments, customers in a private cloud model are typically responsible for managing their applications, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. The cloud provider may manage the cloud infrastructure and virtualization layer, but the customer often handles application-level management tasks, including updates, customization, and user management.

These deployment models contrast with Software as a Service (SaaS), where the service provider is generally responsible for managing the application, including its maintenance, updates, and availability.

During the Fit-to-Standard workshops, an implementation consultant supports customer experts by doing the following:

Demonstrate SAP Best Practice business processes in the starter system. The consultant shows the customer experts how the standard processes work in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and how they fit their business needs1.

Highlight areas that require configuration or customization decisions. The consultant identifies and documents the gaps between the standard processes and the customer requirements, and proposes solutions that are aligned with the cloud mindset1.

The other options are not the correct ways to support customer experts during the Fit-to-Standard workshops. Determining set up instructions for customer-driven integrations is done in the integration phase, after the Fit-to-Standard workshops are completed2. Conducting end-user training on active scope items is done in the deploy phase, before the go-live of the system3. References = Conducting Fit-to-Standard Workshops - SAP Learning, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition - Integration, Deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

The IT Contact is the person who receives the welcome email from SAP and is responsible for setting up the initial access to SAP Cloud ALM. The IT Contact needs to eventually provide all project team members access to SAP Cloud ALM, but it’s most important the partner and customer project managers are given access first, because they are responsible for setting up the implementation project and assigning tasks to the other project team members1. The project manager is a partner role that has the authorization to create and manage projects in SAP Cloud ALM2. References = Setting up the Implementation Project in SAP Cloud ALM, Teams, Roles, and Access Restrictions | SAP Help Portal

In the context of SAP Cloud ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), the IT Contact is typically responsible for the initial setup and assignment of roles within the project. The first role to which the IT Contact often assigns access permission is:

Project manager: The project manager plays a crucial role in overseeing the SAP project's planning, execution, and completion. By assigning access permission to the project manager first, the IT Contact ensures that the project manager has the necessary tools and insights to manage the project effectively within SAP Cloud ALM. This access allows the project manager to monitor project progress, manage resources, and make informed decisions, facilitating successful project execution and alignment with business goals.

Granting the project manager access to SAP Cloud ALM is a strategic decision that empowers them to lead the project efficiently, leveraging the platform's capabilities for project management, monitoring, and collaboration.
