Status and roadmap

ETM4S4 currently represents an initial reference model: a lifecycle, an agent catalog, a governance approach and a set of implementation hypotheses.

It is deliberately more detailed than a vision statement and less final than a product specification.

Current focus

• Define the overall mesh and its relationship to SAP Activate.
• Describe each agent consistently.
• Map agent work to traditional consulting roles.
• Establish explicit autonomy and assurance concepts.
• Define reusable business-process and industry skill packs.
• Develop an implementation, adoption and operating model.

Next stages

Refine

Review each agent with experienced functional, technical and transformation practitioners. Improve boundaries, inputs, outputs, skills and collaboration patterns.

Prototype

Select bounded use cases where source information and human reviewers are available. Begin in shadow or draft-only mode.

Evaluate

Measure groundedness, completeness, consistency, cycle time, human override patterns and downstream quality—not only user satisfaction.

Connect

Integrate agents with authoritative systems such as SAP Cloud ALM, SAP Signavio, SAP LeanIX and customer delivery platforms.

Scale

Move from isolated agents to governed collaboration, shared context and independent assurance.

Operate

Establish ownership, monitoring, release processes, incident management and continuous improvement.

I will update the site as the model develops and will state clearly when a design has moved from concept to tested practice.
