Which communication tasks usually fall into the area of responsibility of change management during the go-live phase of a cloud implementation? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
A.
Inform external suppliers about key process changes
During the go-live phase (SAP Activate Deploy phase), change management focuses on supporting end-users to ensure adoption and smooth transition. Option C is correct because organizing Q&A sessions for key users addresses immediate concerns, fosters confidence, and aligns with OCM’s role in facilitating two-way communication. Option D is correct as sending out ad-hoc support information (e.g., helpdesk contacts) ensures users know where to turn for help, a critical task to sustain adoption post-go-live. Option A is incorrect—informing external suppliers is typically a business or procurement responsibility, not OCM’s focus. Option B is also incorrect; collecting workflow adjustment requirements is a technical or process owner task, not a communication duty of change management. In SAP OCM, communication tasks at go-live prioritize user enablement and support over external or technical adjustments.
“In the Deploy phase, change management executes communication activities such as user Q&A sessions and support announcements to reinforce adoption and address immediate post-go-live needs” (SAP Activate Methodology, Change Management Workstream, Deploy Phase).
