Pre- and post-deployment run list
Key Takeaway
Put any work a deployment won't do for you on the run list, as a manual pre-deployment or post-deployment task.
A deployment run list is a checklist of the manual changes a team must make in the target org before and after a deployment. Some changes can't travel inside a deployment, so someone has to make them manually at the right point in the release.
Run list and change list
A run list is different from a change list, and both sit alongside project management tools.
- A change list is a simple list, table or spreadsheet. A developer uses it to track the changes they make in their own dev org, so they know what to put into the deployment.
- A run list covers the work the deployment won't do for you.
- Project management tools, such as Agile Accelerator and Jira, track:
- Business requirements
- Feature work
- Bugs
- Sprints
- The backlog
