Stabilise & Run

Prepare for go-live. Stabilise quickly. Keep operations steady.

Go-live is where every earlier assumption becomes visible at once. The work here is about arriving prepared, resolving what surfaces, and leaving operations in a state that can be run.

System building blocks being fixed and checked, with an issue moving through investigation to a confirmed release.

Four phases, each with a different job

  1. 01

    Before go-live

    Test strategy and end-to-end validation, cutover planning, rehearsals, and readiness criteria agreed in advance rather than argued about on the night.

  2. 02

    During transition

    Runbook execution, coordination across business and technical teams, and a governed go/no-go decision.

  3. 03

    After go-live

    Hypercare: triage, prioritisation and root-cause analysis against agreed stabilisation criteria, not an open-ended firefight.

  4. 04

    Ongoing

    Support and enhancement for the areas in scope, with a backlog that is actually worked through.
