Implement solutions overview

Applies to: Dynamics 365

This article represents entry no. 99.01 Implement solutions in the business process catalog that pulls the Dynamics 365 implementation guide into the context of business processes.

Mapping tasks to the implementation guide

The Dynamics 365 implementation guide follows the structure of Success by Design with five stages:

• Strategize
• Initiate
• Implement
• Prepare
• Operate

The Implement solutions business process area is part of the implement stage. But it covers tasks across all five stages. The following table provides links to the different sections of the implementation guide and other articles in the Dynamics 365 guidance hub.

• Implement cloud solutions
• Drive app value
• Define implementation strategy
• Create solution blueprint
• Implement process governance
• Define environment strategy
• Implement project governance approach
• Manage organizational change
• Manage data
• Implement application lifecycle management (ALM) strategies
• Define security approach
• Define business intelligence, reporting, and analytics strategy
• Define testing approach
• Define extensions approach
• Define integration strategy
• Define performance strategy
• Prepare to go live
