A MicroStrategy Project lifecycle usually starts from gathering requirements from the business, investigating whether the organization's source systems have data that could satisfy such requirements, and then moving on to designing a data model that supports them, building a database schema to host the data from the source systems, and finally developing MicroStrategy objects from that schema. It is recommended at least two MicroStrategy environments: DEV (developing environment) where the objects are built and PROD (production environment) where the users consume the developed Reports and Documents. However, it is best practice to have an additional environment to do unit, system, and/or performance testing and perform user acceptance testing (UAT), which marks the objects ready to be deployed into PROD. These objects need to be moved from one Project to the other while their DEV-TEST-ACCEPT-PROD cycle advances. MicroStrategy Object Manager is the Administrative tool that helps migrate these objects across Projects.
