 Extensive advanced testing isn't required. Instead, only business-critical apps need to be tested, with the remaining apps validated through a series of pilot deployment rings. Once these pilot deployments have validated most apps, broad deployment can begin.
 
 This process repeats with each new feature update. These are small deployment projects, compared to the large projects that were necessary with the old three-to-five-year Windows release cycles.
