# Create a deployment plan
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
A "service management" mindset means that the devices in your organization fall into a continuum, with the software update process being constantly planned, deployed, monitored, and optimized. And once you use this process for feature updates, quality updates become a lightweight procedure that is simple and fast to execute, ultimately increasing velocity.
When you move to a service management model, you need effective ways of rolling out updates to representative groups of devices. We’ve found that a ring-based deployment works well for us at Microsoft and many other organizations across the globe. Deployment rings in Windows 10 are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. They are simply a method to separate devices into a deployment timeline.

Deployment rings in Windows client are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. They are simply a method to separate devices into a deployment timeline.
At the highest level, each “ring” comprises a group of users or devices that receive a particular update concurrently. For each ring, IT administrators set criteria to control deferral time or adoption (completion) that should be met before deployment to the next broader ring of devices or users can occur.
