Cutover rehearsal
Cutover is a production operation. Rehearsal turns guesses into timings, dependencies into a sequence, and “someone will handle it” into named Titan owners who already know your data story.
How we approach it
-
1
Dry run cadence
Repeated practice migrations with growing realism — including rollback drills when platforms allow.
-
2
Timing model
Windows for freeze, final delta, DNS, and smoke tests — with buffers that reflect real data volume.
-
3
War-room roster
Clear roles for decisions: Irish Titan staff from our headquarters who were in the mapping work — not last-minute contractors.
-
4
Go / no-go criteria
Objective checks (reconciliation, critical paths, support readiness) before the final flip.
Best practices
-
Rehearse communication, not just scripts
Executives, support, and warehouse teams need the same clock — not three different Slack threads.
-
Keep rollback credible
If rollback is theoretical, you do not have a plan — you have hope.
-
Treat DNS and caches as actors
They belong in the runbook with owners and verification steps.
Irish Titan’s methodology starts with business first, online second — partnerships over transactions, then the platforms and marketing that ship outcomes. As a full-service agency we bring UX, design, and business process consulting alongside engineering and launch in the same delivery thread when your program needs it. We operate a Titan-only delivery model: the people doing the work are direct Irish Titan employees from our headquarters, not contractors or outsourced pods.
