GlobalASAP Roadmap Structure
Structure
Description
Phase
(Level 1)
Roadmap is divided into five phases.
Deliverable Group
(prefix DG:)
(Level 2)
Each roadmap phase is made up of several
logical groups of deliverables that are produced
during the phase.
Deliverable
(Level 3)
In each phase the project team produces
several deliverables. The deliverables
represent the main objects within a project.

Methods –
prefix M :
Output
Each deliverable comprises several outputs.
Outputs are documents or tangible items that are
results of a process. The output supports the
completion of a desired deliverable as a
standalone component
Activity
(Level 4)
Each deliverable comprises several activities.
Activities contain the tasks that project team
members need to carry out, in order to fulfill the
project goals. At this level, you can find more
accelerators containing information relevant for
your implementation project.
Task
(Level 5)
Activity is made up of several tasks. The task
describes the detailed steps project team
members are required to perform.
