Deploy organizational process assets across the organization

Deploying organizational process assets or changes to organizational process assets should be performed in an orderly manner. Some organizational process assets or changes to organizational process assets may not be appropriate for use in some parts of the organization (because of customer requirements or the current lifecycle phase being implemented, for example). It is therefore important that those that are or will be executing the process, as well as other organization functions (such as training and quality assurance), be involved in the deployment as necessary.

Refer to the Organizational Process Definition process area for more information about how the deployment of organizational process assets is supported and enabled by the organization’s process asset library.

Subpractices

1. Deploy organizational process assets across the organization.

Typical activities performed as a part of this deployment include the following:

• Identifying the organizational process assets that should be adopted by those who perform the process
• Determining how the organizational process assets are made available (e.g., via Web site)
• Identifying how changes to the organizational process assets are communicated
• Identifying the resources (e.g., methods and tools) needed to support the use of the organizational process assets
• Planning the deployment
• Assisting those who use the organizational process assets
• Ensuring that training is available for those who use the organizational process assets

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

2. Document the changes to the organizational process assets.

Documenting changes to the organizational process assets serves two main purposes:

• To enable communication of the changes
• To understand the relationship of changes in the organizational process assets to changes in process performance and results
3. Deploy the changes that were made to the organizational process assets across the organization.

Typical activities performed as a part of deploying changes include the following:

• Determining which changes are appropriate for those who perform the process
• Planning the deployment
• Arranging for the associated support needed to successfully transition the changes
4. Provide guidance and consultation on the use of the organizational process assets.
