Operate Phase

The Operate phase is the final stage of a project, focused on the ongoing management and performance of the product or service. This phase ensures that everything is running smoothly after the build and maintenance stages. It’s about monitoring the system, addressing any new issues that arise, and making sure everything stays up to date with its intended purpose. The key to success in the operate phase is continuous oversight to ensure that the product remains functional and aligned with user needs.

During the Operate phase, teams focus on regular updates, improvements, and optimization. Any bugs or problems identified during operation are addressed promptly. The performance of the product or service is closely monitored to ensure that it meets both operational standards and user expectations. This may involve adjusting processes or features based on feedback or performance metrics.
