Deployment and cutover plan
Deployment can impose a great deal of change and stress for any organization. Therefore,
ensuring a smooth deployment is a key factor in satisfying any stakeholder. A deployment and
cutover plan, as such, should minimize the impact of the cutover with the stakeholder's staff,
existing production systems and overall business routine. Creating a good deployment plan
helps to identify most of the issues, vulnerabilities, and unforeseen glitches.
