Stabilize · SAP Project Rescue
SAP project rescue starts with facts, not remedies.
Establish root causes, critical risks and recovery priorities, then build an executable 30/60/90-day plan leadership can act on.

When to consider it
When SAP Project Rescue fits
Signals that point here
- Schedule, budget or quality signals suggest the program is off track
- Leadership lacks an agreed, fact-based view of root causes
- A go-live date is at risk and recovery priorities are unclear
The business problem
When an SAP program is under pressure, several issues usually interact. Clarity about which ones matter comes before recovery.
