If more features are added, scope the blast radius before scheduling.

Risks & Mitigations

Last week we reviewed backup and recovery drills with the client's IT lead. They care more about stability than buzzwords. QA walked the main path three times on real devices and flagged edge cases around backup and recovery drills. Prefer a go-live window outside peak traffic, and prepare the rollback package early.
