Timing
This work is performed in selected iterations in late Construction and Transition.
Optionality
Performed in iterations in which an executable release will be externally delivered, most typically where the chosen deployment method requires the creation of a “shrink-wrapped” product.
How to Staff
Apart from the software logistics people like the Deployment Manager, this workflow detail calls for the product image-makers such as the technical “copy” writers and graphic artists to lend their talents to add to the product’s visual appeal as it competes for consumer attention. Also required is handing off of the product to manufacturing, who will produce the product in massive quantities.
