incremental roll out of IT products

This is what a "deployment"means in this context. There are two approaches : gradual release and single release.http://www.acf.hhs.gov/nhsitrc/it_planning/technology_deploy...

These activities are responsible for the life-cycle management of deployment projects. Deployment projects achieve the incremental roll out of the IT products to achieve a plateau's goals. Deployment projects may implement many approaches to roll out these products. This includes:

* Gradual release. This generally involves piloting, where the product is initially released to selected user communities during a trial period and gradually transitioned into full use. Gradual release may be used when there are significant training, resource, logistic, or operational risks to the deployment. It may be used, for example, when deploying to many dissimilar sites in a County-administered system. As the products are gradually rolled out, the HS Agency will be operating in a hybrid mode, using a combination of old and new applications, data, networking, platforms, and business and technical procedures. Interoperability between the old and new is required.
* Single release. When risk of deploying a product is low, the product may be placed into the operational environment with minimal coordination. This may occur for corrective or perfective maintenance releases or when the effect of a new technology is well understood.

The management techniques used on the deployment project should be specialized to accommodate the roll-out approach.
