- Core team. This team manages the day-to-day operations and small-scale enhancements. They contribute to the definition of the center of excellence methodology.
- Extended team. This group works alongside the core team within their subject matter expertise. When this team does not exist in an organization the roles work as part of the core team.
- Project team(s). This is a temporary team to deliver SAP projects to the organization. It includes a project manager, SAP architect(s), SAP analyst(s) and business process experts.
