  1. 01 / PLAN

    Define the release path

    • Confirm development, test, and production environments and release owners.
    • Agree source control, solution boundaries, and approval gates.
    Open the enterprise-scale design journey
  2. 02 / PACKAGE

    Version the solution

    • Check publishers, dependencies, environment variables, and connection references.
    • Commit source changes and prepare a versioned managed solution for downstream environments.
    Open Solution Packaging Guide
  3. 03 / VALIDATE

    Check before promotion
