What is the main goal of a business readiness test in an SAP cloud project?

A business readiness test (or assessment) in SAP OCM, typically in the Deploy phase, evaluates preparedness for go-live. Option A is correct because its main goal is detecting people-related issues—e.g., low training uptake or resistance in a unit—that could disrupt the transition, allowing mitigation before launch. For instance, a survey showing poor process understanding triggers extra enablement.

Option B is incorrect—identifying managers needing motivation is a stakeholder analysis task (Prepare), not readiness testing’s focus. Option C is incorrect; collecting communication ideas is a planning activity, not the test’s purpose, which is assessment. Option D is incorrect—incentive systems are HR-related and outside OCM’s readiness scope. SAP OCM uses this test to ensure a smooth go-live.

“The business readiness test aims to detect people-related issues and challenges prior to go-live, enabling timely corrective actions” (SAP Activate, Business Readiness Assessment).
