The go-live milestone
We will address the go-live in two aspects: namely, the technical go-live and the functional go-live.
The technical go-Live
During the technical go-live, the following aspects should be in place:
Synchronization of the development environment and the production environment should be finalized. A clear cut-off, in terms of functionality that is implemented and functionality that is not implemented (i.e. those that are left for a later phase or that are not critical for go-live) should be communicated to the management and users.
