ES-112 Stage Manifest¶
Manifest purpose¶
This manifest is the structured contract for ES-112.
Stage identity¶
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Stage ID | ES-112 |
| Stage Name | Deployment and Transition |
| Stage Family | Deployment and Operations |
| Stage Type | Deployment, transition, and evidence production |
| Estimated Effort | 1–2 hours per deployment or transition increment |
| Prerequisites | ES-111 — Operational Readiness |
| Previous Stage | ES-111 — Operational Readiness |
| Next Stage | ES-113 — Operations and Monitoring |
| Primary Output | Deployment and transition evidence package |
| Publication Status | Production-ready |
Stage mission¶
Move the approved operational scope into its target environment while preserving release limits, transition controls, rollback ability, user communication, and deployment evidence.
Primary engineering question¶
Can the approved scope be deployed and transitioned without expanding risk, losing evidence, confusing users, or weakening operational controls?
Inputs¶
| Input | Required | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Operational readiness summary | Yes | docs/operations/operational_readiness_summary.md |
| Operational scope | Yes | docs/operations/operational_scope.md |
| Support model | Yes | docs/operations/support_model.md |
| Monitoring and observability plan | Yes | docs/operations/monitoring_and_observability_plan.md |
| Incident response plan | Yes | docs/operations/incident_response_plan.md |
| Rollback and stop plan | Yes | docs/operations/rollback_and_stop_plan.md |
| User transition plan | Yes | docs/operations/user_transition_plan.md |
| Operational risk register | Yes | docs/operations/operational_risk_register.md |
Outputs¶
| Output | Repository Location |
|---|---|
| Deployment overview | docs/deployment/deployment_overview.md |
| Deployment scope | docs/deployment/deployment_scope.md |
| Deployment plan | docs/deployment/deployment_plan.md |
| Environment readiness check | docs/deployment/environment_readiness_check.md |
| Deployment execution record | docs/deployment/deployment_execution_record.md |

Required evidence¶
- operations-to-deployment evidence;
- deployment scope evidence;
- deployment planning evidence;
- environment readiness evidence;
- deployment execution evidence;
- transition communication evidence;
- access and data evidence;
- rollback validation evidence;
- post-deployment verification evidence;
- transition evidence.
Completion criteria¶
ES-112 is complete when deployment scope matches operational scope, deployment plan exists, environment readiness is checked, deployment execution is recorded, transition communication is delivered, access and data controls are confirmed, rollback or stop approach is validated, post-deployment checks are complete, and ES-113 readiness is documented.
Success criteria¶
ES-112 succeeds when ES-113 can begin operations and monitoring without guessing what was deployed, who can access it, what data is allowed, what features are disabled, what was communicated, or how to stop the deployment.
Risks if skipped¶
Skipping ES-112 may result in uncontrolled deployment, unclear access, wrong data use, disabled features becoming active, missing rollback, user confusion, and weak operational evidence.
Maintenance notes¶
Deployment evidence should be updated for each meaningful deployment, redeployment, environment change, access change, enabled capability change, or transition event.
