One of the questions we received was best practices for a "keep alive" script. Here is an article on the topic and a couple of Ideas posted to the Idea Exchange:

When we discussed ALM, someone shared a caution around deploying from DEV to PROD and finding that a lot of the production data and user attributes were not migration. Here is a relevant excerpt from our documentation on Model Data:
Production data is operational data that changes often during day-to-day business operations, including:
- Values of cells in modules
- The contents of production lists and the values of any associated properties
- The configuration of imports and import data source (IDS) definitions marked as production data
- Production users
- Workflow states
Structural Information Reference provides a complete list of a model's structural information, and any exceptions treated as production data.

We talked briefly in the AM session about having a checklist for a model release to make sure some of the areas and access controls are ready for deployment. In addition to The Anaplan Way Guide (linked above), here are a couple additional resources on the topic:
