This is all about ensuring that everything is ready for the actual first day of live use. The list of tasks to roll out depends on the application / site created.

Roll Out Tasks

• Document all that needs to be done until the application / site is succesfully live.
• Identify which resources do what and when they should perform their task(s).
• If multiple tasks can be done at the same time and resources are available then add to the plan.
• Have a back up option for each task.
• Decide on a go/no decision point.
• Calculate any risks and what they are.
• Ensure the client is ready for any activity prompted by the change.
• Check to see support contracts are in place.
• Inform all of the escalation protocol should an unforeseen situation occur.
• Update plans throughout the process so all can see progress made.
• Ensure data and code are loaded.
• Update any configuration required for go live and check all works.
