 |
| This task is straightforward: follow the procedures in the Deployment Plan for the rollout of a specific product
 |
| release. If the deployment plan does not exist or it is poorly constructed, this task might be much more difficult.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The main point here is that to achieve a high probability of success, the development team should have previously
 |
| developed a detailed plan that organizes and articulates all the unique instructions for deploying that particular
 |
| release. Because an experienced deployment engineer normally executes this task, they might be able to overcome any
 |
| missing deployment procedures or content. However, that is not an excuse for a development team to not develop the
 |
| plan's contents.

 |
| When the preliminary review has been completed and the release window has started, deploy the release package into
 |
| production. Depending on the release script and the size of the package, this installation might take anywhere from a
 |
| few minutes to a few hours.

 |
| <p>
 |
| Monitor the release as the release script is run. Be prepared to terminate the script and back out the release if
 |
| significant errors are encountered.
