# Lifecycle Management

> Launchpad Lifecycle Management module: every step and the articles that support it.

Lifecycle Management is the fourth Launchpad module. It automates access for new hires, people who change roles, and people who leave.

Finish the [Foundation](/launchpad/foundation) module first. Then work through the steps in order. Each step lists the articles that support it.

<Tip>
  Watch first: the Lifecycle Management deep-dive series (Parts 0 to 4) on the [Deep-Dive Videos](/kb/quick_start_guide/lumos_foundation/lumos-deep-dive-videos) page follows the same order as these steps.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Understand the architecture">
    Watch Part 0 (Foundational Terms) and Part 1 (Architecture Strategy) first.

    * [Lifecycle Management Settings](/kb/quick_start_guide/lifecycle_management/lifecycle-management-settings)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up onboarding">
    Watch Part 2 (Pre-IDP Onboarding) first.

    * [New Hire Onboarding in Lumos](/kb/quick_start_guide/lifecycle_management/new-hire-onboarding-in-lumos)
    * [Onboarding Workflows](/kb/quick_start_guide/lifecycle_management/onboarding-workflows)
    * [How To: Create an Access Policy in Lumos](/kb/life_cycle_management/new-hire-onboarding/how-to-create-an-access-policy-in-lumos)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure offboarding">
    Watch Part 3 (Offboarding) first.

    * [Offboarding Employees in Lumos](/kb/life_cycle_management/employee-offboarding/offboarding-employees-in-lumos)
    * [How To: Configure Removals for Apps](/kb/life_cycle_management/employee-offboarding/how-to-configure-removals-for-apps)

  <Step title="Set up mover workflows">

    * [Mover Workflows](/kb/life_cycle_management/movers/mover-workflows)
    * [Monitoring Mover Events](/kb/life_cycle_management/movers/monitoring-mover-events)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build access policies">
    Access policies decide who should have what, so your onboarding, offboarding, and mover workflows grant the right access automatically.

    * [Building Conditions in Lumos](/kb/life_cycle_management/building-conditions-in-lumos)
    * [Troubleshooting Access Policies](/kb/life_cycle_management/troubleshooting-access-policies)
