“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.” 

 

— Bruce Lee, American martial artist and actor.

 

Feeling uncomfortable when starting a new project is natural but it is essential to continue with the planning and executing. Taking no steps is nothing but harm to your work. This rule applies to running a business and initiating new efforts. Crucial tasks like software go-live also need a lot of planning to ensure smooth execution. 

 

If you are planning to implement this anytime soon and want to ensure that the code moves from the test environment into the production environment seamlessly, you need to create a go-live plan. In addition to making this transition smooth, this plan will also ensure that any potential problems are forecasted and avoided swiftly.
