post-deploy-verify

Post-deploy verification is the process of confirming that a deployed system satisfies BRD and PBI commitments by inspecting required artifacts and live environment evidence. It operates post-deploy to assess alignment in staging or production environments.

The best way to generate a deployment verification matrix is to automate the cross-checking of live deployment outcomes against BRD requirements and linked PBIs. This produces a per-requirement evidence matrix with clear RED, YELLOW, and GREEN statuses for stakeholder review.

Post-deploy verification works across staging and production environments using configurable environment input. It requires an environment configuration file and the ability to query the deployed environment to validate prerequisites.

Automating BRD and PBI commitment verification requires BRD identifier references, PBI references, and an environment configuration file. Additionally, you need the ability to query the deployed environment for live evidence.

Deployed systems drift from BRD planning documents when live deployment outcomes are not cross-checked against required artifacts. Post-deploy verification prevents this drift by validating live environment evidence against BRD and PBI requirements.
