Measurable improvements to the organization’s processes and technologies are deployed and evaluated using statistical and other quantitative techniques.

Once improvements are selected for deployment, a plan for deployment is created and executed. The deployment of improvements is managed and the effects of the improvements are measured and evaluated as to how well they contribute to meeting quality and process performance objectives.

If the deployed improvement involves significant changes to a service system, then the deployment will probably include practices required for Service System Transition.

Refer to the Service System Transition process area for more information about deploying service system components.
