Roadmap: How to Adopt the Deployment Management Practice
This roadmap describes how to adopt the Deployment Management Practice, which helps project teams successfully deploy solutions.
Main Description

Getting Started

Adopt this practice to ensure the developed solution is effectively transitioned to its user community.

Deployment planning begins early in the lifecycle. Determine how and when the solution will be made available to users. Describe the roles and responsibilities of those required for the deployment effort.

Describe necessary packaging and distribution requirements. Based on the information documented in the Deployment Plan, develop the procedures for installing the solution hardware and software, initializing system data sources, and distributing needed support materials. Depending on the particular target environment and solution being implemented additional tasks may be required to setup and test that environment.

To ensure a successful deployment, walk through the production cutover plans ensuring that all deployment criteria have been met.
