Release Risk

Core Workflow

1. Define release scope, affected users, changed systems, dependencies, deployment path, and timing constraints.
2. Identify risk areas: data, auth, billing, migrations, integrations, performance, compatibility, flags, observability, support, and rollback.
3. Check readiness evidence: tests, reviews, docs, monitoring, alerts, support notes, owners, and approvals.
4. Define rollout plan, hold points, rollback or mitigation plan, and decision owner.
5. State go/no-go recommendation with confidence and residual risk.
6. Keep customer, support, and stakeholder communication separate from internal risk notes.
