Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) 4.0-a Comprehensive IT Service Lifecycle

We are pleased to announce that the MOF 4.0 Beta has been updated! We have updated the content based on customer and partner review and have added one new SMF (Team SMF).

Beta members can download the content now.

MOF 4.0 delivers practical guidance that connects concepts to everyday IT practices and activities, helping to establish reliable and trustworthy IT services that deliver business value. MOF 4.0 has evolved beyond operations to include the entire IT lifecycle-it's an integrated model that includes best practices from Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF); governance, risk, compliance; planning activities; and management reviews. MOF 4.0 has also created a new structure for its SMFs that now emphasizes outcomes, results, and roles. With MOF 4.0 guidance, you'll be able to assess your customer's current IT lifecycle, prioritise processes of greatest concern, and apply proven principles and best practices to optimise planning, development, operation, and management of IT services.
