What is CRP / Conference Room Piloting?
CRP Stands for Conference Room Piloting
The CRP Sessions are conducted to transform Oracle Applications knowledge to the customer before conducting UAT (User Acceptance Test) and End User Training
The No.of CRP you need to have and when it needs to be conducted depends on Client Industry, Size of Implementation and client knowledge in general about ERP applications.
I have implemented ERP solutions where customer migrate from one ERP to another. In those cases two CRP sessions are enough.
If client does not have any idea about ERP, then it is better to have it three
CRP 1: Generally it is conduted at initial phase after you finish RD010 and RD020 - Basically to provide an overview of Oracle ERP after understanding client Business
CRP2: Conducted after BP080 (Future Business Model) - Configure the system as per client Future Business Model and Demonstrate. This will help you to identify the client expectation and prepare BR010 Gap Analysis Document
CRP3: Develop workaround or customization for the Gaps identified in the CRP2 and fix them and demonstrate a full fledged solution suitable to Client Business
