Document shared lifecycle accountability and escalation.
The question

- Assign engineering responsibility for testing defects.Engineering should address relevant design and testing issues, but this does not allocate HR’s deployment, configuration, access, escalation, or remediation responsibilities.
- Use vendor guidance to allocate accountability among the internal teams.Vendor input may inform governance, but the organization must assign and document its own internal responsibilities and escalation paths.
- Document shared lifecycle accountability and escalation. ✓The organization should document distinct but connected responsibilities across development, deployment, access, escalation, and remediation.
- Make HR the sole accountable owner for every consequence after deployment.HR owns important deployment and access decisions, but deployment does not erase engineering responsibilities for design, testing, and limitations.
The trap
Map responsibility to each lifecycle activity, then assign escalation and remediation explicitly. How to remember it
