Techniques and procedures used to carry out the activities defined in the Release Readiness Plan so that deliverables are fully prepared for shipment or deployment.

Key Points

  • Translate the Release Readiness Plan into actionable steps and checks.
  • Focus on making deliverables deployment-ready, including packaging, verification, and compliance tasks.
  • May include checklists, automation scripts, dry runs, documentation, training, communications, and rollback preparation.
  • Tailored to the product and environment, and aligned with quality, risk, and change management controls.
