Notice
Important information on the exam: on paper and not on the platform!
Dear All,
the exam will NOT take place on the "esamionline" platform, differently from what I've told you in all my previous communications! On May 26th, you will do your exam on paper (as in all the other exams).
Even if on paper and not on the platform, the structure of the exam will remain as we discussed: three questions (Remember, Understand and Apply) on different weeks of the course.
Sorry for the change (and for the inconvenience it might cause you) but with so many participants it was not manageable

Tuesday: final class and review on exam and assignment ... They are both online!
Dear All,
on Tuesday I've scheduled two slots. As every Tuesday, both of them are online:
- from 10 to 11:30 the final class of the course
- from 12:30 to 13:30 an overview on exam rules (as a reminder from what I shared in the first class) + on the structure of group assignments.
No class in presence is further scheduled!

Week 6 materials
Dear All,

For all the weeks do not forget to go and check how to reach the "esamionline" platform where you will take the test.

Timing of the group assignment discussions: June 8th, 9th, 15th or 16th
Dear All,
I've prepared a google sheet where each group can book their preferred slot.
Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/136cmvkqfv58q1pGLmxG0apcIBskAJ68QghfvojRJp4s/edit?usp=sharing
As you will see you can choose among different alternatives on June 8th, 9th, 15th or 16th ... by the way, the timing of the discussion is indipendent from when you will come to the written exam (the evaluation of the assignment will be an add-on up to 3 points to the mark of your written test in module 2).
The discussions will take place online and every group member must be present ... so choose a suitable timing among the many options!
On Tuesday will discuss a bit more in detail the structure of the asssignment, but let me anticipate you that these online discussions will be entirely based on questions from my side and, based on the role that you will have identified, I will ask the manager of each area a specific question on a relevant section of your report!

A guest from IBM
Dear All,
as I mentioned you last week, this morning part of the class will have Francesco Saltari from IBM ... the rule of keeping your webcams on when there is a guest, fully applies! Thanks a lot for creating a warm environment. The topic will be great and really at the frontier: agentic AI. So you will like it.
This morning I've opened the week 5 section... needless to say I don't expect you to have looked at it!

Week 4 materials are available on the platform
Dear All,
Week 4 materials (videos and readings) are available on the platform (as well as the online test and the chatbots have been updated).
The summary presentation will be made visible after the class on Tuesday.

Group assignment ... the right password
Dear All, the correct password to start with is:
Iniziale1
There is no ! at the end ... my mistake.
Once inside you will be asked to change the password and select your own.
Sorry for the inconvenience and all the best
CC
Group assignments ... so let's start operationally
Dear All,
an initial important remark: each group will receive (see below) a user name and a password .... and every group member will enter into SAP CALM with the group user name and password (the same for the whole group). KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PASSWORD and share it among all group members.
Therefore, in order to access SAP CALM platform, a representative for each group will have to go to
In doing so, report as user your group number, following the format described below (include your number without any space instead of # ).
-
User: sapgroup#@uniroma2.it
For instance group number 1 will be sapgroup1@uniroma2.it, while group n.22 will be sapgroup22@uniroma2.it
As to the password, you all will have the same starting password
-
Password: Iniziale1!
The group representative in each group will have to change the password immediately ... please write down the password so that you will remember it for future access and share the new password immediately with all the group members so that also them will be able to access!
At this point you can start the exercise and enter into your project, following step by step what is reported on the pdf CALM NPI guide (the detailed screenshoots supporting the access start at page 10).
On the course platform, you will find two additional files that are presenting you a few ideas on how different NPI processes are across the three industries as well as you will find the three use cases.
Each group will focus only on one industry ... check in the Google drive to which industry your group has been assigned. It is in the second sheet of the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lV9xuAW9dgycwLRy9GwKQ9DjzF4Vpw4BZRtTZ0Tb894/edit?gid=1480658749#gid=1480658749
When a group had expressed a preference, I've taken it into account, when there was no preference, I've randmly assigned it. Be relaxed as there is no industry that is "easier" or "better"than the others.
... At this point, start working and see you online on Tuesday (but we will discuss the group assignments on Wednesday in presence ... eventually also online if you cannot attend but try and be present so the discussion will run smoother!)
All the best

Classes next week
Dear All,
as we are running a bit in late, next week we will recover by having two classes:
- on Tuesday at 10:00 online (as we did in the previous weeks), where we will look at the Enterprise Information Systems + ERP & more ... to make it more concrete a part of the class we will feature an IBM consultant who is supporting companies in implementing advanced IT systems (including AI applications).
- on Wednesday at 13:00 in presence (as from the official timetable), where we will see how AI is transforming the way work and business are carried out ... during the class we will have time to meet with WecloudIT to check your progress on the group assignment. I'll share with the 22 groups that are engaging in the group assignments the link and passwords to get into SAP CALM. I'll be sending soon a dedicated message. During the week-end and at the beginning of next week, get inside the platform and start the exercise so that on Wednesday we will be able to discuss any eventual problem.

Next class & Materials from Week 3
Dear All,
Next online class on Teams will take place next week on Tuesday May 5th from 10:00 to 12:00.
Materials from Week 3 are now accessible ... read them asap so that we can interact during next class.By the way, we are running in late (my fault) and we need to recover.
Every week, I'm also preparing the weekly test also on the "esamionline" platform to give the chance to carry out a self-assessment! So you can find there three sample test each one on a different week (clearly the actual questions of the real test will not focus on the same week ... but will spread across different ones)
All the best

Group assignments
Dear All,
I've seen that many of you will take part to the group assignment ... that's very good! On Tuesday, I'll tell you more about the specific activities you are expected to carry out!
I'll keep the enrollment open till Tuesday Monday 5th at 9:00am, as starting from Tuesday the groups will need to start working and therefore we need an established group structure! In case you haven't enrolled yet, I encourage you to do it asap! ... in case you don't know anyone, don't worry, write you name at the ned of the list, I'll support you in finding a group to work with!
All the best

Reminder: next class is tomorrow (April 28th) with the webcams opened. Groupwork assignment materials + the ending of Week 2 presentation
Dear All,
let me remind you that next class will be online tomorrow, Tuesday April 28th at 10:00.
As I've already anticipated you , in the first hour, Alessandro Sartorelli [the CEO of an innovative cloud company] will introduce the actual use of BPM on cloud referring to the SAP suite ... and that will be the basis for the group assignment.
For this reason, I invite you to start organising yourselves in groups of 4-6 participants at the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lV9xuAW9dgycwLRy9GwKQ9DjzF4Vpw4BZRtTZ0Tb894/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Start and talk with your potential groupmates ... but also you can list your names as searching for a group.
As I've already mentioned you: please join the meeting with you webcam open. I will feel entitled to send out of the meeting those who will have the webcam switched off and I might decide not to record the meeting. As I mentioned you last time, when there will be a testimonial I will not tolerate that you join a meeting with the webcome switched off ... I'm sure you fully understand that it is very unpleasant to speak in front of closed cameras!
I'm delaying the opening of week 3 videos/reading as I prefer you to review week 2 materials as it will be the key pillar on which the group assignment will be built upon.
All the best and see you tomorrow
