Every (man-made) system is intended to be deployed, operated, and eventually disposed of. Having a common understanding of how the system is to be deployed, operated, and disposed helps avoid much miscommunication between the project team.
A System Operations Model is a high-level model of how a system is envisioned to be deployed, operated, and eventually, disposed.
It shows, in graphical terms (a SOM is typically diagrammed) the interrelationships among the different stages, gates, and operations:
- System development
- Entrance criteria (entrance into deployment)
- System deployment
- Performance of purpose (mission)
- System maintenance
- System reconfiguration
- Phasing out
- System disposal
Once we have built the SOM, it becomes the basis for further systematic elaboration into operations and tasks.
