Where are we to date…
We are nearing the end of the UAT Sprint. This phase has encountered numerous solution defects, which the development team has resolved, along with changes in the solution's scope. We have extended the UAT phase to accommodate all incoming requests and defects (see Timeline & Milestones).
We are behind on our targets, which impacts the overall planning, but the there is no risk in Go Live as there is delay in the SAP project.
Project Overview
New Features
We noticed a significant increase in change requests, rising from 11 last month to 35. Some have already been implemented as they were critical for important features, such as margin calculation. The remaining features are undergoing estimation and budgeting for the Soft Go Live Phase.
Solution defects (bugs)
During the UAT Phase the team managed the completion and correction of the main solution defects that were raised by the Valio Team, including bugs that embeded partial changes in the initial scope in order not to block the development flow.

Timeline & Milestones
The updated roadmap, accounting for the delayed UAT phase, sets the initial deployment for early January for the soft go-live.
Given the delay in the SAP go-live, planned for May 2026, the soft go-live may extend longer than anticipated. This adjustment considers user and data readiness for an effective go-live, now planned for April 2026.
Project Status
What does this all mean…
If we reconsider the SAP project delay, we should devise an alternative strategy to enable the CPQ system to function independently of SAP integration.
Recover data manually from the SAP systems for integration into Price Manager, the primary data source for CPQ.
Perform regular manual updates as needed.
A deployment from UAT to production in January will ensure all validated user stories and changes are available for testing.
The project budget remains on target, with the Soft Go Live and additional change requests budgeted based on time and materials. Currently, we do not anticipate any major overconsumption due to these changes.
We have made trade-offs to ensure the overall solution is usable during the UAT phase.
