 > Our recommended way forward is cloud-native, with devices Microsoft Entra ID-joined and managed through Microsoft Intune. Cloud-native management can simplify planning, preparation, deployment, and ongoing management of Windows 11 using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopatch. Many of these processes can also be adapted for hybrid or on-premises environments. [Discover which option is right for your organization on Microsoft Learn.](https://aka.ms/EntraJoin-WhichOption)

+## Phased or ring-based approach to deploying Windows
+
+Throughout this module, we talk about deployment rings and different project phases. It's common for some of the terms to be used interchangeably, but for clarity, here’s how we’ll define the different phases of a deployment project in this module:
+
+- **Proof of Concept (PoC).** An optional phase often performed in a lab environment. It’s most useful at the earliest stages of the project to test basic functionality and assumptions. Sometimes called a Limited Pilot.
+
+- **Pilot.** The first phase you perform in the production environment, used to test wider infrastructure, connectivity, and application compatibility.
+
+- **Broad deployment.** One or more further deployment phases in the production environment, known as rings. In Windows Autopatch, these are called first, fast, and broad rings, eventually targeting the majority of the estate.
+

+
+## Helpful reports across the deployment phases
+
+Windows diagnostic data provides the information for Windows update compatibility reports, so it’s not necessary to install agents. You can use Microsoft Intune (preferred) or Microsoft Configuration Manager to deploy diagnostic data settings to the clients you want to report on.

+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> You might have to modify your [diagnostic data settings](/mem/intune/protect/data-enable-windows-data) to make full use of the reports used throughout this module.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Are there any steps from the Plan phase that you didn’t finish or still need help with? Is all stakeholder feedback addressed for the plan and all approvals secured? Review the check list and your notes from the Plan learning module before proceeding.
