This book got me the job!
I owe George big time for helping me launch a new career as an SAP Project Planner/coordinator/leader. Between this book and my experience writing software spec's to IEEE standards, I wrote a proposal that got me a 10 month gig planning and coordinating the SAP implementation for an existing client. The material on CD alone is worth 100 times the cost of the book - you get PowerPoint demos, spreadsheets, MS Project plans, and tons of documents that you can modify and present as your own work. Even with an inside edge I never would have been able to write such a credible proposal w/o this book.

This books title is very misleading - keep reading.
When we started on my second SAP installation, one of my first moves was to do an Amazon search on "SAP". I suspected there would be quite a few titles and there are. So far I have read 14 of them including this one. My experience has been that almost everyone wants to write about some piece of the puzzle that they know a lot about. Not George. He tackles the entire process, including how to keep it running well once you are live. To top it off, he is the only person I've met that is actually qualified to speak and write in such a broad manner.
This is the one book you need to get started with. It is also the book you need to go live with. At current consulting rates, you can pay for the advice in this book in about 15 minutes. This book really isn't so much about planning as it is surviving and thriving in the eye of the storm. It is by far the best of the 14 books that I have read.

Worth the money
Detailed enough to be worth the money, easy enough to read to make picking up the book worthwhile. I would have like to see more on daily administration, but chapter 14 does an excllent job getting you prepared for this. I especially like the fact that the author shared his checklists; yes, the CD is very good. Quality job all the way around, looking forward to George's next book covering stress testing and performance tuning. Similar Products
