## 4.14 Deployment & Transition
Regardless of the approach applied, there is always a need to ensure that the information system under development can effectively be deployed in the organisation's technical infrastructure. The Operational Model describes all these technical and infrastructure related aspects of deploying the information system.
There are several considerations to evaluate together with the technical aspect of deploying an information system to enable a smooth business transition. Activities, such as user testing, frequent training, and communication sessions also lead to an increased level of engagement. Ensuring that users are also continually informed and aligned with the project delivery schedule allow the optimal delivery of the solution.
Deployment and transition activities are also crucial to ensure that dependencies with other projects and/or information systems are taken into consideration. For further information on this topic, refer to PM2 guide on managing Transitions and Business Implementation.
