Responsibilities:In principle, four roles can be identified in the process of using Quality GateManagement:

A development lead is responsible for creating changes and transport requests,assigning them to the developers and releasing them, when the development iscomplete.

An IT Operator is responsible for importing the transport requests into the testand production systems. He monitors the imports and fixes technical problemsduring the import process.The Quality Manager performs quality checks at certain project milestones. Forexample he checks if project documentation and testcases are available in a

good quality. He also checks the result of automated quality checks like codeinspection analyses or completeness of transports in the test system.The Quality Advisory Board is the steering committee for the implementationproject. It supervises the risks of an implementation project

The phases are separated by quality gates (Q-Gates). Using the Q-Gates, thequality manager and quality advisory board can check and document the

progress being made in a project. A Q-Gate represents a milestone in a projectand includes a check on the results of the preceding phase. You can record thenecessary results and requirements placed on a given software development

project in SAP Best Practice checklists and documents.

Overview A summary of important objects is provided in Change Management, sorted bythe business partner status and function:

Approval is needed for a Quality GateChange requests assigned to your business partner Change documents assigned to your business partner, sorted by changeprocedure type, for example, urgent correctionProduct maintenance procedures you have created or changed, or to whichyour business partner is assignedClick a hyperlink to go to a view of a filtered list.For example, as requester of your approved change requests, you go to the

Change Requests view with a list of your approved change requests.

The graphical view of your projects contains an overview of the deadlines, Q-Gates and milestones in your project. You can prepare existing projects forquality gate management, or change them, and manage document templatesfor the project Q-Gates, with Maintain Project .

Implementation ProjectProject to implement business processes in an SAP landscape.

Create a project structure from the business processes. You can either create a newproject structure, or base it on one of the following:...

One or more user or partner templates An existing projectScenarios and configuration structures delivered by SAP

An existing production solution landscape

Upgrade Project A project to upgrade existing systems.In an upgrade project you can:

Upgrade customizing: Upgrade existing functionsand/or Delta customizing: Copy additional functionsOptimization project

A project to optimize the flow of business processes, or the use of a softwaresolution.

Maintenance project A project to maintain a solution...in Quality Gate Management . The project contains all maintenance activities and

urgent corrections of a solution.

Which fields are ready for input depends on the user. Quality managers andmembers of the quality advisory board, for example, can release a Q-Gate inone of the following ways:Initial no status is set.Partially passed some minor points are still open in this phase, but theyshould not delay the project.Passed the project can go to the next phase.Not passed - the project cannot go to the next phase.Re-open - the project can go to the next phase

The risks are collected automatically by the system. The quality manager candecide before each phase or phase completion, whether all transports have runcorrectly into the next system, or whether he must take measures to ensurethat they do so.The view has two screen areas:The top area contains the systems and the risk descriptions.The lower area contains the change requests for your project which areaffected by these errors.Risks can be, for example:

Open TransportsTransport error (return code 8)

Missing transport requestsTransports which did not run synchronouslyThe quality manager can react to critical situations appropriately, and asses theproject risk.

In this example, the Solution Manager Project comprises several SAP systems.The systems have dependent transports. All transports for the whole solutionare bundled under the umbrella of the Solution Manager project. When theproject goes live all transport requests that belong to the same SolutionManager project are imported at the same time. So all dependencies areconsidered automatically.
