 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Deployment Duration measures the elapsed time between a defined deployment start event and a defined deployment completion event.
 +
 +The start event may include:
 +
 +  * Authorization of the deployment
 +  * Initiation of a deployment workflow
 +  * Retrieval of the first deployment input
 +  * Start of resource provisioning
 +  * Start of installation
 +
 +The completion event may include:
 +
 +  * Completion of resource provisioning
 +  * Completion of installation
 +  * Successful activation
 +  * Satisfaction of applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:acceptance_criteria|Acceptance Criteria]]
 +  * Declaration that the deployed subject is operational
 +
 +The applicable measurement definition must identify the start event and completion event. Different event boundaries produce different Deployment Duration measurements.
 +
 +Deployment Duration may include or exclude:
 +
 +  * Queue time
 +  * Approval time
 +  * Input retrieval time
 +  * Build time
 +  * Provisioning time
 +  * Installation time
 +  * Configuration time
 +  * Validation time
 +  * Recovery time
 +  * Manual intervention time
 +
 +The applicable requirement or measurement procedure determines which intervals the measurement includes.
 +
 +Deployment Duration differs from deployment effort:
 +
 +  * Deployment Duration measures elapsed time
 +  * Deployment effort measures the labor or resources consumed during deployment

 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Deployment Duration measurement should identify:
 +
 +  * The deployed subject
 +  * The deployment start event
 +  * The deployment completion event
 +  * The start timestamp
 +  * The completion timestamp
 +  * Included and excluded intervals
 +  * The target environment
 +  * The observed result
 +
 +A failed or canceled deployment may have a measured duration, but that duration does not represent successful Deployment Duration unless the measurement definition explicitly includes failed or canceled executions.
 +
 +The term does not prescribe a particular deployment method, orchestration product, platform, or unit of time.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A deployment workflow starts at 10:00 when provisioning begins and completes at 10:18 when the resulting Infrastructure Environment satisfies its Acceptance Criteria. The Deployment Duration is 18 minutes.
