- Task 5.3: Monitor Initial Deployment
- Once the platform is live, monitor its performance for any immediate issues or user feedback.
- Have a dedicated support team available to quickly address any unforeseen problems.
6. Post-Deployment Support:
- Task 6.1: Track User Feedback
- After the platform goes live, continue to monitor user interactions and gather feedback to identify any new issues.
- Track performance metrics (load times, error rates, etc.) to ensure the platform is running smoothly.
- Task 6.2: Address Post-Launch Issues
