Deployment, Implementation, and Configuration Management

This major section deals with the creation of a POC or pilot and outlines the tasks and subtasks associated with a real deployment. Much of the planning has already been accomplished earlier in the overall deployment plan under the sections "Identify Coexistence Strategies," "Establish Test Lab Environment," and "Plan Server Configuration."

The pilot is a real implementation of all of the planning that you and your team have accomplished. The pilot is a chance to find the bugs, problems, and roadblocks that are unforeseen to a successful deployment. You’ll troubleshoot these problems as needed, and then you’ll move on to refine your deployment configuration choices in your project plan.
