How I work on your project
- Before changes
- I agree the scope, review the plan with you, and define the checks and rollback approach.
- During delivery
- I show the changes and their test results. You can review progress against the agreed outcome.
- At handoff
- You keep your accounts, access and documentation. I explain what changed and what still needs attention.
