Deployment Life Cycle Framework - Overview ITIL Published ICTIM including Deployment in 2002. Focused on implementation and rollout. Most deployments are projects, or parts of a program, and should be managed using project management and ITIL change management processes. ITIL describes the Deployment process, but does not provide a life cycle framework. Deployment Life Cycle Framework attempts to build on the ITIL Deployment Process with the type of detail a project manager might use as input into a work breakdown structure. Page 7
