The purpose of the Transition Stage is to prepare the system for the promotion of the developed application to the live environment. Gate 6 is the ‘Go/No Go’ gate for go-live.
The Project Manager coordinates the various activities involved in transitioning the service into the live environment. These include planning and coordinating the resources to deploy the release; evaluating and managing the change; scheduling the release and deployment; maintaining the information about configurable items; ensuring the support services are able to support the application.
