Context: Last week we reviewed go-live rollback plan with the client's IT lead. They care more about stability than buzzwords. Editors know the CMS well enough, but go-live rollback plan still needs a one-page rule sheet to cut verbal rework. Next, we recommend to require a change request for any scope change. If more features are added, scope the blast radius before scheduling.

Delivery Approach

Last week we reviewed backup and recovery drills with the client's IT lead. They care more about stability than buzzwords. We hit a case of a teammate accidentally deleting a channel. Troubleshooting started with logs on Postman, then followed our reproduction steps. Archive screenshots and config change IDs for this backup and recovery drills round so next month's retrospective stays concrete. 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

Business asked for a clickable prototype within two weeks, while engineering wanted to lock fields related to integration environments first. Next, we recommend to lazy-load homepage assets by route. 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 backup and recovery drills.
