The deployment is the final step before being able to translate the code over to the users. It is the deployment professionals who can have the biggest impact on the people who are trying the software or application for the first time. To guarantee the success of a newly released application, the following steps must be included: installing prerequisites, making necessary configuration changes, identifying potential conflicting software, and manipulating any other components of the environment for the solution to work.
Guidelines:
Testing and setting up the environment
	The first step in the deployment process is to identify and manually test all of the steps necessary to make the software or application work in an environment. This may include software as well as hardware configurations.
End User / Operations / Support
	Early in the deployment stage you need to focus on 3 important aspects: End Users - your targeted audience Operations Group - responsible for managing the application Support Staff - responsible for helping everybody once the software is in production. You need to identify the level of control each group has in the deployment process.
Back-up before you move forward
	One of the most overlooked actions is backing up the old system. Nothing is perfect. Take the time and approach the safest way possible. Make sure you do not loose one bit of information just because you need to meet a deadline.
Automated scripts
	Without a doubt in today's fast changing pace, automation scripts are the best way for deployment. However, make sure you do it right. Just as you test your applications, make sure you test your deployment scripts as well.
