In his article, Joe talks about the following four deployment strategies in detail:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Serial deployment<\/li>\n<li>Parallel deployment with non-overlapping user rollout<\/li>\n<li>Parallel deployment with overlapping user rollout<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Up-front infrastructure and rollout of the end-to-end configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft recommends you start your deployment of Microsoft 365 Enterprise using the core (or foundation) deployment. The recommended end-to-end deployment includes the following six phases, which Joe and his Microsoft colleagues have documented in another article <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/enterprise\/deploy-foundation-infrastructure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft 365 Enterprise foundation infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phase 1<\/strong>: Networking<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase 2<\/strong>: Identity<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase 3<\/strong>: Windows 10 Enterprise<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase 4<\/strong>: Office 365 ProPlus<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase 5<\/strong>: Mobile device management<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase 6<\/strong>: Information protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In my experience, many small organizations don&#8217;t follow a strategy, they just randomly pick a feature (e.g. MDM) and then start deploying it without any systematic approach. Then before the first project is complete, they start implementing the second project. A better approach is to follow Microsoft&#8217;s recommendation and use the above 6 phases as a guideline. Microsoft points out the advantages of each phase in its <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/enterprise\/deployment-strategies-microsoft-365-enterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article<\/a>. There is nothing wrong with working on multiple projects simultaneously. In fact, Microsoft has two types of strategies for parallel deployment: non-overlapping and overlapping user rollout. The important thing to keep in mind is that everyone doesn&#8217;t need to use the exact same deployment strategy. You should use Microsoft&#8217;s recommendation as a guideline and customize it for your own needs. Whatever you do, just make sure you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a systematic approach<\/li>\n<li>Come up with a plan that incorporates all the users and all the devices<\/li>\n<li>Consider the impact of your plan on the users<\/li>\n<li>Ensure you have the resources and the budget to implement the plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can use the following Microsoft 365 Enterprise foundation infrastructure poster for each phase. Each of the six icons in the PDF is hyperlinked to a separate article for each individual phase.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/docs\/office365\/M365EnterpriseFoundInfraPoster.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/M365EntFoundInfraPoster.png\" alt=\"Microsoft 365 Enterprise Foundation Infrastructure Poster\" width=\"1179\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/M365EntFoundInfraPoster.png 1179w, https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/M365EntFoundInfraPoster-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/M365EntFoundInfraPoster-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/M365EntFoundInfraPoster-1024x791.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By using the deployment strategy recommended by Microsoft as a guideline, you will have much more control over your deployment and you will also keep your users and devices secure.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #e3e3e3; text-align: left;\">Thanks for reading my article.
