The process of assimilating information and making decisions during a technology implementation takes a significant amount of time. Therefore, customers should make necessary decisions ahead of the implementation to avoid unnecessary risks, project delays, and increased costs. Regardless of whether organizational processes drive the design of a cloud application or if cloud application influences processes, there are standard decisions that need to be made for new performance management implementations that are technology application-agnostic. Rushed business decisions during implementation may lead to tech changes after rollout and increase costs. Also, since performance management activities are cyclical, organizations only have one chance to get it right. Finally, lack of business readiness may lead to descoping features and functionality, resulting in a downward spiral.

It covers core areas that might serve as pre-work for an SAP SuccessFactors performance and goals implementation.
