11. Continuous Improvement Roadmap The Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) provides operational guidance that enables organizations to achieve mission-critical system reliability, availability, supportability, and manageability of Microsoft products and technologies. MOF Process Model Self Assessment Tool Microsoft Operations Framework

12. Architecture Blueprints WSSRA contains detailed IT infrastructure planning and design guidance, tested and proven in labs. This guidance enables organizations to build highly available, secure, manageable, and reliable enterprise IT infrastructure. Logical Architecture Diagram Implementation Guides Windows Server System Reference Architecture (WSSRA)

13. Detailed Project Guidance and Job Aids BDD 2007 simplifies Windows Vista and the 2007 Office system deployment, including comprehensive process guidance, job aids and tools to correspond with every stakeholder and phase of a large-scale desktop deployment project. Deployment Workbench MMC TechNet Desktop Deployment Center Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007 Released: January 2007

14. How we saw it We needed to develop implementer guidance A lot of excellent IP already created in: Solution Accelerators Reference Architecture (WSSRA) Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) Scenario Guidance and Toolkits (BDD, IDA, BOIS, Patch, LOBSA, etc.) TechNet Solution Center Guidance Product Guidance LET’S MAKE IO ACTIONABLE FOR IMPLEMENTERS!

15. What we decided to do about it Contextual set of guides that lead through the How-to elements of IO Moving from Basic to Standardized (~90 pages) Moving from Standardized to Rationalized (~140 pages) Moving from Rationalized to Dynamic (~50 pages) Redesign of the public web site IO TechNet Solution Center

18. Released: Spring 2007 Basic to Standardized Guide IO provides a logical roadmap to progress the maturity of an IT organization. These guides describe the core concepts for implementing and managing IO-defined capabilities, linking to more detailed and actionable content for implementation. SOLUTIONACCELERATORS Act faster.
