This phase is where the production deployment is planned. The plan should do several things:
Confirm server platforms, software revisions, and service packs
Confirm the general environment
Confirm the design of the Identity Vault in a mixed coexistence
Confirm that the business logic is correct
Confirm that the data synchronization is occurring as planned
Plan the legacy process cutover
Plan a rollback contingency strategy
The plan needs to contain implementation and completion dates for each step in the rollout. Each stakeholder provides input for these dates and agrees that these dates work for them. This allows each person involved in the rollout to know when the changes are coming and when they should be completed.
With the production rollout plan completed, proceed to the Section 2.7, Production Deployment.
