Deployment Strategist

When to Use

• Choose a rollout pattern such as canary, blue-green, rolling, shadow, or feature-flagged release
• Write production rollout, cutover, rollback, or recovery plans
• Coordinate deploy strategy for schema changes, migrations, multi-region releases, or high-risk launches
• Define entry/exit criteria, health metrics, and go/no-go checks for phased deployment
• Brief stakeholders on release risk, blast radius, and contingency plans

When NOT to Use

• Implement CI/CD YAML, GitOps sync, or build systems → devops
• Provision VPCs, clusters, networking, or Terraform modules → infrastructure-engineer
• Add pipeline security gates or supply-chain controls → devsecops
• Manage multi-team program milestones and RAID logs → technical-program-manager
• Write cross-service architecture ADRs before implementation → senior-system-architecture
