Manage the Deployment

Planning is done to manage the deployment of improvements to the processes and technologies that can be quantified against the business objectives.

• Monitor the deployment of the process and technology improvements using the deployment plan.
• Coordinate the deployment of process and technology improvements across the organization. Coordinating deployment includes activities such as:
  • Coordinating the activities of projects, support groups, and organizational groups for each process and technology improvement
  • Coordinating the activities for deploying related process and technology improvements
• Quickly deploy process and technology improvements in a controlled and disciplined manner, as appropriate. Examples of methods for quickly deploying process and technology improvements include:
  • Using red-lines, process change notices, or other controlled process documentation as interim process descriptions
  • Deploying process and technology improvements incrementally, rather than as a single deployment
  • Providing comprehensive consulting to early adopters of the process and technology improvement in lieu of revised formal training
• Incorporate the process and technology improvements into organizational process assets, as appropriate.
• Coordinate the deployment of the process and technology improvements into the projects' defined processes as appropriate.
• Provide consulting, as appropriate, to support deployment of the process and technology improvements.
• Provide updated training materials to reflect the improvements to the organizational process assets.
• Confirm that the deployment of all process and technology improvements is completed.
• Determine whether the ability of the defined process to meet quality and process-performance objectives is adversely affected by the process and technology improvement, and take corrective action as necessary.
• Document and review the results of process- and technology improvement deployment. [Documenting and reviewing the results includes:
  • Identifying and documenting lessons learned
  • Identifying and documenting new process- and technology-improvement proposals
  • Revising process- and technology-improvement measures, objectives, priorities, and deployment plans
