Develop and Launch a Service

Service Lifecycle

Service Design     Develop and Launch Service     Manage and Improve Service     Service Retirement

The develop and launch phase of the service lifecycle is when each of the deliverables identified in the service design document are executed. For larger service developments, this is frequently done in partnership with the PMO. For smaller projects, the service design document will serve as a blueprint for developing the service. The goal of this phase is to ensure that your service is production-ready, with all deliverables defined in the service design completed and validated as “ready” by each of the process owners.

The process of developing a service is not a linear one. Many steps in the process overlap and can be completed simultaneously. 
 

The University IT demand process

A demand is a project proposal for any effort that is anticipated to require more than 400 hours of collective work from University IT staff.
