Closed

# Closed does not mean the customer is on their own

After the active deployment engagement concludes, the customer transitions into first-year ZBoost adoption support so health checks, optimization guidance, escalation support, and renewal-confidence evidence keep moving.

Deployment focus

## Post-deployment motion

- Handoff complete with support path and assumptions clear
- First-year ZBoost active at no additional cost
- Adoption and optimization work continues beyond go-live

Current phase **Closed**

Milestone **ZBoost adoption active**

Support path **Zscaler + ZBoost**

Template **Deployment complete**

First-year adoption

## ZBoost turns deployment closure into an adoption motion

The handoff clarifies what standard support covers and where SecureDynamics continues to help the customer improve, optimize, and build confidence after launch.

01

### Handoff cleanly

Confirm final documentation expectations, support channels, known assumptions, and where future requests should go.

02

### Keep health visible

Use first-year ZBoost health checks and advisory guidance to surface posture, adoption, and optimization opportunities.

03

### Protect renewal confidence

Build a visible record of value, improvement, and next-step guidance instead of waiting for renewal pressure to reveal underdeployment.

Canonical milestones

## Milestone anchors the customer, partner, and ZTSM can reference consistently

These labels are used as section anchors so customer communications, Aiden reporting, and internal delivery notes stay aligned.

**Closed**

### Handoff complete

The customer has the support path, final documentation expectations, known assumptions, and post-deployment guidance needed to operate with confidence.

**Closed**

### ZBoost adoption active

First-year ZBoost keeps adoption moving after delivery with health checks, optimization guidance, escalation support, and renewal-confidence evidence.

Meet Aiden

## Aiden (Ai-den) keeps every phase moving.

Aiden is our always-on virtual project manager across the deployment methodology. In ZBoost Adoption, Aiden stays part of the workflow and communication layer, using Kanban boards to track individual and team action items, customer updates, blockers, and value milestones.

- Kanban boards
- Customer updates
- Team actions
- Value milestones

### Aiden phase view

Always on

**Methodology phase** ZBoost Adoption

**Milestone status** Handoff complete, ZBoost adoption active

**Workflow owners** Customer, partner, SecureDynamics ZTSM, and technical workstream owners

**Communication** Customer, partner, ZTSM, and project-team updates stay tied to the same source of truth

**Dates** Kickoff, working sessions, pilot windows, rollout waves, closeout, and ZBoost checkpoints

**Blockers** Access, identity, change windows, application edge cases, approvals, and customer-owned decisions

**Next steps** The next owner/action/date set that keeps the deployment moving between meetings

Customer knowledge layer

## Customers can learn while the deployment is moving

SecureDynamics gives customers guided access to Zscaler Deployment Advisor GPT, Learn Zscaler GPT, Design Workshop GPT, the Knowledge Base, and, when appropriate, a project access key for deeper custom RAG/MCP-backed deployment insight.
