Data Component Deployment

Definition

Data component deployment is the deployment subactivity consisting of the cohesive collection of all tasks that are primarily performed to deploy data components onto the hardware components in the production environments.

Goals

The typical goals of the data component deployment subactivity are to:

• Formally transfer the data component from the development organization to the customer organization.
• Prepare the data component for use by the relevant applications.

Objectives

The typical objectives of the database deployment subactivity are to:

• Deploy the data component to their hardware components.
• Deliver the final version of all deliverable work products to the customer organization.
• Notify the user organizations regarding the readiness of the data component for use.

Examples

Typical examples of the data component deployment subactivity include:

• Replacing a relational database with an object database.
• Deploying a data component to a database.

Preconditions

The data component deployment subactivity may typically begin when the following preconditions hold:

• The data component has passed system testing.
• The delivery phase has started.
• The project management Team is adequately staffed and trained in its deployment tasks.
• The deployment team is adequately staffed and trained in its deployment tasks.

Completion Criteria

The data component deployment subactivity is typically complete when the following postconditions hold:

• The data components have been officially accepted by the customer representative.
• The data components are in use by the user organization(s).
• The delivery phase is complete.

Tasks

The data component deployment subactivity typically involves the following producers performing the following deployment tasks:

• Project Management Team, which performs:
  • Data Component Delivery
• Deployment Team, which performs:
  • Deployment Planning
  • Data Component Installation
  • Database Loading
  • Database Tuning

Environments

The data component deployment subactivity typically involves the following environments:

• Production Environments:
  • Client Environment
  • Contact Center Environment
  • Data Center Environment

Work Products

The data component deployment subactivity typically results in the production deployment work products:

• Deployment Plan
• Release Notes
• Installation Manual

Guidelines

• This subactivity is documented using the typical configuration for large projects. It is intended to be configured (i.e., instantiated, extended, and tailored) to meet the needs of specific projects.
• The preconditions of this subactivity should be the union of the preconditions of its constituent tasks.
• The completion criteria for this subactivity should be the union of the postconditions of its constituent tasks.
