1. Create a list of requirements prior to the deployment of the online course management software along with a description of each. In addition, explain how you would address each requirement.
• Identify and understand your deployment audience
There are at least three distinct groups of audience which needs to be considered. They include: the end users, the functional staff responsible for running the software once it is in the production of process, and support team who are charged with the responsible of supporting and helping the users with the software once it is in production.
Under this level it’s vital to note the control measures to ensure system functions effectively.
• Identify your deployment strategy early
It’s important to determine the strategy to use in the deployment process. This determining whether the system will be operated in parallel with the existing system or will it be performed a cutover? Running the system in parallel offers the advantage that you can easily back out to the original system if the new one runs into problems.
• Installation testing
This is vital as some systems might be installed and they bring the other system to a stop. Testing gives an over view of what should be done and preparing for the right installation.
• Start preparing early. Software changeover needs to be done with adequate time and with proper preparations to ensure it takes phase as intended without affecting the overall performance. Without proper preparations things might get a bit complex and affect the general operations of the system.
• Recognize that deployment is harder than it looks It’s important to note that deployment is hard and it needs keen observations to ensure they get the events done in the right mode.
