Operating System / IaaS
Provide life cycle management for operating systems (OS) and platforms (that run an OS to provide a function) in the organization.
Improvement Planning
Practices-Outcomes-Metrics (POM)
Representative POMs are described for Operating System / IaaS at each level of maturity.
- 2Basic
- Practice
- Develop policies, processes, and procedures for the life cycle management of the major operating systems, and select the appropriate tools to successfully implement.
- Outcome
- A basic, repeatable, and reliable life cycle approach emerges for the design, implementation, and support of the major operating systems.
- Metric
- % of operating systems whose life cycles are documented and managed.
- 3Intermediate
- Practice
- Use standard policies, processes, procedures, and tools for the life cycle management of all operating systems within the organization.
- Outcome
- Life cycle management and tool sets have been standardized and partially automated for all operating systems.
- Metric
- % of operating systems using the standard management life cycle.
- 4Advanced
- Practice
- Regularly test and review to automate and improve the life cycle management of the operating systems.
- Outcome
- The life cycle management of all operating systems is incrementally improved and semi-automated.
- Metrics
- % automation of the management of the operating system life cycle.
- # of improvements to the life cycle management of each operating system.
- 5Optimized
- Practice
- Use research and experimentation to exploit all new and best practice approaches to improve the life cycle management of the operating systems.
- Outcome
- The life cycle management of all operating systems is continuously optimized.
- Metric
- % cost savings due to the optimization of the life cycle management of the operating systems.
