Another pre-pre-release meeting. Clients only see the result, a release going in smoothly. They don't see all of the work done weeks ahead of time. Planning on the detailed steps of rollout, backups, checkpoints, rollback process if there is a problem. The RACI chart, communication plans. All documented and version controlled in the repository. Next week the bosses present an executive summary to the board for their approval for release.

<sarcasm>Sure, doing a release is easy and anyone can do it.</sarcasm>
