This pocket guide is intended as a practical reference for information technology (IT) professionals studying or implementing Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF). This guide is derived from and complements the core MSF documents. The guide introduces the core components of MSF:

MSF Team Model MSF Process Model MSF Disciplines

Furthermore the guide provides guidance on implementing MSF. Finally, the guide shows how MSF integrates with Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF). Both frameworks are complementary in Microsoft's approach to help organizations in delivering innovative solutions and achieving operational excellence.

Microsoft® Solutions Framework (MSF) is a structured yet adaptable approach to managing technology projects, based on a defined set of principles, models, disciplines, key concepts, guidelines, and proven practices from Microsoft. It provides guidance on how to organize people and projects to plan, build, and deploy successful information technology (IT) solutions.

MSF consistently focuses on the business value of the IT project by placing emphasis on delivery of the complete technology solution - all of the elements required to successfully respond to a customer's business problem or opportunity.

MSF draws from a collection of internal and external best practices that have been proven effective in the management of all types of technology projects. Its easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, technology-independent approach makes it accessible to a wide range of organizations.

Since its introduction in 1993, MSF has been used both nationally, and internationally, to successfully deliver technology solutions faster, with fewer people and less risk, while enabling higher quality results.

The pocket guide shows the elements of MSF in a practical way for quick reference, providing an exclusive summary for the solution delivery framework.
