Cutover & Go-Live

Coordinate a controlled transition into live operations

Cutover is a business event with a technical component. It runs on a plan people have rehearsed, owners who know their step, and a decision taken against criteria agreed in advance.

How cutover runs

Planned, rehearsed, then executed

The path to live
  1. Step 1: Plan
  2. Step 2: Runbook
  3. Step 3: Rehearse
  4. Step 4: Go/no-go
  5. Step 5: Execute
  6. Step 6: Hypercare

Rehearsal is what turns a plan into a timetable people can hold to on the night.
