Develop a Deployment Plan

When planning a large implementation, you should deploy CA Identity Manager functionality in stages. The following deployment order allows you to gain significant value from CA Identity Manager quickly, evaluate the changing needs of your implementation over time, and carefully construct your environment for best performance and scalability:

• Self-service and password management
• Identity policies
• Workflow approvals
• Delegated administration for user, group, and organization objects
• Delegated administration for role administration

After each deployment stage, be sure to evaluate performance and make adjustments before proceeding to the next stage. Optimizing Identity Manager provides information on performance, tuning, and scalability.
