Answer with Explanation

The go-live process follows a sequential checklist approach:

  1. Update go-live date in LCS

    • Must be kept updated throughout the project

    • Start 2–3 months before go-live

    • Engage key stakeholders regularly

  2. Complete and submit pre-go-live checklist

    • Submitted after UAT sign-off

    • Mandatory for all customers

    • Reviewed by Microsoft FastTrack

  3. FastTrack project assessment

    • Conducted by FastTrack Architect

    • Risks, mitigations, and best practices are reviewed

  4. Release for production deployment

    • Allowed only after assessment completion

  5. Request production deployment

    • Customer responsibility (self-service in LCS)

  6. Deployable package installation (if required)

    • Causes system downtime

    • Must be carefully planned

  7. Database copy (if applicable)

    • Used for cutover or sandbox refresh
