As part of digitalization, many companies are investing in digital transformation or modernization projects for processes and systems. Due to product life cycles and innovations, you need to migrate parts of your system landscape to newer software or switch from on-premise to cloud-based architectures and business models. Examples include the introduction of SAP S/4 HANA, a change of integration platform or a modernization of the workflow framework.

Projects like this are becoming increasingly distributed and complex. This leads to a continuous increase in the number of project participants, system interfaces, and process variations. The involved stakeholders have different interests and constraints due to their areas of responsibility and local conditions. This quickly leads to counterproductive and rivaling collaboration.

Therefore, structured coordination and transparent communication of the situation have become indispensable success factors. Without suitable project management approaches and communication strategies, common goals cannot be reliably achieved. Collaboration must be transformed back into a mutually beneficial form.
