2-11.7 Production and Deployment Phase

Activities in this phase are directed toward achieving an integrated, well-planned deployment of the product that can be economically and efficiently supported throughout its life cycle. During this phase, the plan is revised to reflect actual operational experience.

Detailed maintenance support plans are prepared during the production and deployment phase. As information becomes available from the testing and operation of the product, the life cycle plan is validated and revised to reflect the most effective operation and support. All members of the team developing the life cycle support plan participate in this effort to ensure an integrated approach to issue resolution.
