Deployment specialists act as the gatekeepers for changes to production, to ensure that the production environment remains stable during additions and updates.
For software and systems updates, the deployment specialist works with the project team to create a checklist for upgrade or rollout steps, and leads meetings to identify rollout responsibilities and order of these actions. An essential part is planning for issues that may arise by creating a rollback plan to revert changes if needed. The deployment specialist coordinates closely with the developer and analyst to identify any other systems that may be impacted by the new or updated product.
