Cross-Border Trade client talk tracks for data migration windows

Context: Last week we reviewed acceptance checklist 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 acceptance checklist. Archive screenshots and config change IDs for this acceptance checklist round so next month's retrospective stays concrete.

Testing & Acceptance

The same requirement can sound different across departments; writing it down helps align decisions on integration environments. QA walked the main path three times on real devices and flagged edge cases around integration environments. Next, we recommend to store backups in a separate folder with dated labels. If more features are added, scope the blast radius before scheduling. The same requirement can sound different across departments; writing it down helps align decisions on go-live rollback plan. We hit a case of payment succeeded but orders still pending. Troubleshooting started with logs on SSL certificates, then followed our reproduction steps. Prefer a go-live window outside peak traffic, and prepare the rollback package early.

Risks & Mitigations

Last week we reviewed training and handover with the client's IT lead. They care more about stability than buzzwords. Business asked for a clickable prototype within two weeks, while engineering wanted to lock fields related to training and handover first. Add a field dictionary to the docs so new joiners ask fewer repeat questions.

Takeaways: The same requirement can sound different across departments; writing it down helps align decisions on monitoring alert thresholds. Editors know the CMS well enough, but monitoring alert thresholds still needs a one-page rule sheet to cut verbal rework. Next, we recommend to log API status codes and latency. If more features are added, scope the blast radius before scheduling.
