SPEED-BOK v1.4.7

Release and Deployment

Promoting validated artifacts safely into live environments.

A validated artifact is not yet a released one. Release and Deployment navigates the territory where change meets reality — reversibly, and with full operational observability — without breaking what was working before.

Start here

Core tasks

Release planning

Decide which arbitrated artifacts go into which release, in what order, and under what conditions.

Environment promotion

Move artifacts through progressively more live environments, validating at each step.

Release execution

Perform the deployment under defined procedures, with rollback readiness verified beforehand.

Post-release observation

Watch operational signal immediately after release to detect issues arbitration did not catch.

Rollback operation

When release reveals a defect, execute a rollback swiftly and with full logging.

From knowing to running

Knowing SPEED and running it are two different things. When you're ready to practice the methodology inside a program that runs it, the implementor path is where you begin.
