Retire Phase

During the Retire Phase the system is successfully shut down in a controlled manner by completing the System Disposition Checklist. Extensive planning is done in order to define all the tasks that must be completed to decommission the system. Any remaining activities must be transitioned to a different process or system, contracts will be closed out, data needs to be archived according to the System of Record Notice (SORN) or other guidelines, and hardware must be disposed of in accordance with Federal best practices.

Key Objectives
