Deployment / Release SOP

When to use

For every production release or major delivery.

Procedure

• 1. Confirm QA sign-off on all in-scope work.
• 2. Run the pre-deploy checklist (a recurring task ensures it’s never skipped).
• 3. Deploy, then verify the change in production.
• 4. Notify the team via your notification channels.
• 5. Log the release notes for the record.

Rollback

• Define the rollback step before deploying
• If verification fails, roll back and reopen the task with an issue
