The Roadmap tab in the SAP Roadmap Explorer provides a clear overview of planned and upcoming functionalities in SAP Cloud ALM. The roadmap is divided into three main areas:
Implementation
Operations
Business and Data Transformation
This guide focuses exclusively on the Operations area. The roadmap is structured quarterly (showing four quarters in advance) and transparently displays which new features are planned or available during each period. It serves as a reference for upcoming developments and provides insights into how Cloud ALM will continue to evolve in supporting operational processes.
How to Use the Roadmap
Purpose:
The roadmap serves as a continuous tool for function review and planning. It can be used to:
Identify missing or desired functionalities early, e.g., from a company perspective like Bauhaus.
Discover upcoming features that may impact operational processes.
Plan implementation or adjustments in the tenant proactively.
Recommendation:
Review the roadmap monthly, as content is continuously updated.
Discuss relevant developments and results in regular meetings (e.g., Jour Fixe) with responsible colleagues to react early to changes and actively steer the evolution of Cloud ALM.
Understanding a Feature Release in the SAP Roadmap
Clicking on a tile (feature) in the SAP Roadmap Explorer provides detailed information about the planned functionality. Key components of a feature release include:
Title: A concise description of the new feature.
Product Assignment: Shows which SAP product the feature belongs to (e.g., SAP Cloud ALM).
Focus Topics: Classifies the feature thematically, such as User Experience, Automation, Monitoring, etc.
Overview: A short description of the feature content, explaining what is being introduced or improved.
Benefit: Explains the value of the feature from a customer perspective, e.g., time savings, better transparency, or improved integration.
Searching for Use Cases in the SAP Roadmap
To find new or planned features for a specific use case, such as Health Monitoring, the SAP Roadmap Explorer offers powerful search and filter functions:
Use the search field in the top-left corner and enter a keyword, e.g., Health Monitoring.
The roadmap will filter and display all tiles/features associated with this keyword.
Additional filters can be applied, including:
Date Range: e.g., only Q2 2025
Product: e.g., SAP Cloud ALM
Area: e.g., Operations
Status: Planned, In Development, Delivered
What’s New: Identify newly added features
Conclusion
The SAP Roadmap Explorer in Cloud ALM is a vital tool for planning and anticipating capabilities. By regularly reviewing the roadmap, organizations can stay informed about upcoming features, ensure alignment with operational needs, and make strategic decisions to optimize processes and tenant configurations.
