Ideal for global SAP programs, international project teams, and complex transformation projects.

Why the ChGM™?
SAP projects generate a large number of changes—many of which are recorded incompletely, late, or not at all. Change management teams often focus on communication and training rather than on the technical classification of changes.
A single requirement can trigger numerous changes. To capture these in a structured way, it is helpful to categorize them into:
- Change domains
- Change categories
- Change types
The ChGM™ provides a comprehensive framework for this: from broad categorization across 11 domains to detailed classification across 120 categories and 1,200 types.
What the ChGM™ Supports
- Project planning and organization
- Preparation for future tests
- Cutover planning
- Transparency in technical discussions
- Governance in global SAP programs
- Role clarification and responsibilities (RACI)
Many projects start with the 11 change domains and later refine the classification iteratively using the 120 categories.
