 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.

 # Evaluate infrastructure and tools

 Before you deploy an update, it's best to assess your deployment infrastructure (that is, tools such as Configuration Manager, Microsoft Intune, or similar) and current configurations (such as security baselines, administrative templates, and policies that affect updates). Then, set some criteria to define your operational readiness.
 
 ## Infrastructure
 
 Do your deployment tools need updates?
 
-- If you use Configuration Manager, is it on the Current Branch with the latest release installed. Being on this branch ensures that it supports the next Windows 10 feature update. Configuration Manager releases are supported for 18 months.

 - Using a cloud-based management tool like Microsoft Intune reduces support challenges, since no related products need to be updated.
-- If you use a non-Microsoft tool, check with its product support to make sure you're using the current version and that it supports the next Windows 10 feature update.

 Rely on your experiences and data from previous deployments to help you judge how long infrastructure changes take and identify any problems you've encountered while doing so.
 
 ## Device settings
 
-Make sure your security baseline, administrative templates, and policies have the right settings to support your devices once the new Windows 10 update is installed.

 ### Configuration updates
 
 There are a number of Windows policies (set by Group Policy, Intune, or other methods) that affect when Windows updates are installed, deferral, end-user experience, and many other aspects. Check these policies to make sure they are set appropriately.
 
-- **Windows 10 Administrative templates**: Each Windows 10 feature update has a supporting Administrative template (.admx) file. Group Policy tools use Administrative template files to populate policy settings in the user interface. The templates are available in the Download Center, for example, this one for [Windows 10, version 1909](https://www.microsoft.com/download/100591).

 - **Policies for update compliance and end-user experience**: A number of settings affect when a device installs updates, whether and for how long a user can defer an update, restart behavior after installation, and many other aspects of update behavior. It's especially important to look for existing policies that are out of date or could conflict with new ones.

 When you’ve deployed an update, you’ll need to make sure the update isn’t introducing new operational issues. And you’ll also ensure that if incidents arise, the needed documentation and processes are available. Work with your operations and support team to define acceptable trends and what documents or processes require updating:

 ## Figure out roles and personnel
 
 Planning and managing a deployment involves a variety of distinct activities and roles best suited to each. As you plan, it's worth figuring out which roles you'll need to carry out the deployment and who should fill them. Different roles are active at various phases of a deployment. Depending on the size and complexity of your organization, some of the roles could be filled by the same person. However, it's best to have an established *process manager*, who will oversee all of the tasks for the deployment.
