This blog post discusses the project roles related to managing SAP Fiori applications. Based on my and my teammates' experience, I'm sharing a practical approach to organizing project roles. This approach factors in the real situation of the projects coming from ECC to S/4HANA and ensures cost-effective app handling without unnecessary delays.

The post focuses on three project roles:
- Roles and Authorization Expert
- Functional Application Expert
- Developer
I have skipped the UX lead role suggested by SAP as ECC to S/4HANA migration projects often pass on it. Instead, I added the new UX lead tasks to the existing ECC project roles.

Below, I have listed the roles with their corresponding activities, and the specific deliverables for the two most popular requisites in S/4HANA projects: 1. Preparing roles and authorizations and FLP content management concepts, and 2. Adding new custom or extended application:

1. Adding new custom or extended application:
