Operations Phase

The operations phase covers tasks necessary to keep the implementation of the deployment running smoothly. This phase includes the following:

• Monitoring the deployment to ensure that the system is running according to plans

• Performance tuning to ensure that the deployed software runs at optimal levels

• Providing scheduled maintenance for smooth operations and unscheduled maintenance as the need arises

• Upgrading software and hardware as the need arises

Details about the operations phase are out of scope for this guide.
