Managing the Migration Process

4. Deploying

The final phase of the migration process, in the MSF process model, is Deploying. During this phase, the team must transition from creating elegant development solutions to complying with the rigid operational requirements of thorough and complete testing. The goal of this phase is to make the new services available to the target audience and users. This requires completing user and administrator training, rolling out and monitoring the system, and fixing bugs.

The milestone for this phase is Deployment Complete, when the system can be formally turned over to Operations and Support, for maintenance.
