Manage the deployment of the selected process and technology improvements.

The implementation of this specific practice may overlap with the implementation of the Implement the Action Proposals specific practice in the Causal Analysis and Resolution process area (e.g., when causal analysis and resolution is implemented organizationally or across multiple projects). The primary difference is that in the Causal Analysis and Resolution process area, planning is done to manage the removal of the root causes of defects or problems from the project’s defined processes. In the Organizational Innovation and Deployment process area, planning is done to manage the deployment of improvements to the organization’s processes and technologies that can be quantified against the organization’s business objectives.

Typical Work Products

1.    Updated training materials (to reflect deployed process and technology improvements)

2.    Documented results of process- and technology-improvement deployment activities

3.    Revised process- and technology-improvement measures, objectives, priorities, and deployment plans

Subpractices

1.    Monitor the deployment of the process and technology improvements using the deployment plan.

2.    Coordinate the deployment of process and technology improvements across the organization.

Coordinating deployment includes the following activities:

·   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

3.    Quickly deploy process and technology improvements in a controlled and disciplined manner, as appropriate.

4.    Incorporate the process and technology improvements into organizational process assets, as appropriate.

Refer to the Organizational Process Definition process area for more information about organizational process assets.

5.    Coordinate the deployment of the process and technology improvements into the projects' defined processes as appropriate.

Refer to the Organizational Process Focus process area for more information about deploying organizational process assets.

6.    Provide consulting, as appropriate, to support deployment of the process and technology improvements.

7.    Provide updated training materials to reflect the improvements to the organizational process assets.

Refer to the Organizational Training process area for more information about training materials.

8.    Confirm that the deployment of all process and technology improvements is completed.

9.    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.

Refer to the Quantitative Project Management process area for more information about quantitatively managing the project’s defined process to achieve the project’s established quality and process-performance objectives.

10.  Document and review the results of process- and technology-improvement deployment.

Documenting and reviewing the results includes the following:

·   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
