Must-Have Features for MVP
Shadow traffic replay and synthetic user runners for core T-codes/APIs
Config and code snapshotting with semantic diffs
Policy guardrails (e.g., block transport if it changes pricing without tests)
Canary rollout by organizational unit with feature flags for config toggles
Business KPI anomaly detection tuned to ERP semantics
War-room automation with auto-triage and runbooks
One-click rollback or hotfix pathways with audit trails
Release scorecards and post-go-live burn-down
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Safe capture/replay of production-like traffic within compliance bounds
- Accurate config/version differencing across transports and clients
- Vendor-specific constraints on partial rollbacks
- Cultural shift to progressive delivery for ERP changes
Risk Level: Moderate
🎯 Keys to Success
- Reduce P1 incidents in first 30 days by >60%
- MTTR under 30 minutes for reversible config defects
- Detect regressions pre-release in >80% of cases via guardrails
- Shorten hypercare from 8 weeks to 2–3 weeks
