 |
| Because a deployment engineer is responsible for accepting the results of one or more development team members and
 |
| deploying those integrated releases into the production environment, it is important for all parties to agree on the
 |
| details of a particular release. The deployment plan documents, in one place, all the information that will be consumed
 |
| by the deployment engineer before and during the deployment to production of a particular release package.
