COMPRINT · IT LIFECYCLE PLANNING CHECKLIST
20 questions. Five stages.

ACQUIRE
Start with outcomes, then compare the options.
[ ] Which workloads and business outcomes must the technology support?
[ ] What capacity do you need now, and over the next 12–36 months?
[ ] Have you compared new, refurbished and rental options for this workload?
[ ] Does the comparison include software, deployment, support and end-of-use costs?

DEPLOY
Make day one part of the plan.
[ ] Which sites, teams and dates are in the rollout?
[ ] What configuration, imaging and software setup is required?
[ ] Who owns delivery, installation, testing and acceptance?
[ ] Are migration, downtime windows and rollback arrangements documented?

MANAGE
Define support before you need it.
[ ] Which assets and locations are included in the support scope?
[ ] What service hours, response commitments and escalation paths are agreed?
[ ] Who owns asset records, warranty dates and service history?
[ ] How will replacement equipment, repairs and software updates be handled?

EXTEND
Ask what can keep working.
[ ] Can memory, storage or component upgrades meet the next requirement?
[ ] Are compatible spares available for the expected remaining service life?
[ ] Which assets could be repaired, refurbished or redeployed?
[ ] When should you review the cost of maintaining versus replacing each asset?

RETIRE
Plan the exit while you still control the asset.
[ ] Do you have an asset list with model, serial number, condition and ownership?
[ ] What data handling, sanitisation and verification evidence do you require?
[ ] Who owns collection, chain of custody and disposition records?
[ ] Have buyback, reuse and refurbishment been assessed before recycling?
