Main Description
By answering a set of generic questions (who, what, when, where, why, and how), deployment planning can go a long way to make a release a satisfying experience. Some questions to be considered are indicated by the check items below:
Check Items
Who are the end users of the features to be released?
Do those end users require any special training?
What features must be deployed?
What features will make this release valuable to the end user community? What components are included in the release package?
When do the features need to be available?
When must the deployment be completed and tested?
Where are the end users located?
Are end users distributed or in one location, and are their infrastructure configurations the same or different?
Why is the release taking place?
Is the deployment needed to resolve an issue or is it required to provide new functionality that has been requested?
Who will support the release after it is deployed?
Do support personnel have all the information and training necessary to provide quality support?
When is the release "done?"
How will the team know that the release was successful and when the deployment is finished?
