Operating model
How teams use a release control center — a portfolio reference, not live org policy.
Before deploy
- Confirm risk score and factors; resolve checklist blockers.
- Verify rollback plan readiness (full vs partial).
- Record approvals required for production.
During deploy
- Queue → preflight → step through pipeline in simulation.
- Watch verification and monitoring phases for regression signals.
If something goes wrong
- Record elevated error rate or health warnings.
- Recommend rollback when signals exceed policy.
- Execute rollback; capture audit timeline.
- Generate structured status updates for internal and external audiences.
- Open or refresh postmortem with action items and owners.
