Program Plan

Operationalization roadmap

This page translates the operationalization work into a lightweight program plan. Use it to track sequencing, dependencies, and milestone thinking across identity, hosting, telemetry, and governance.

Program objective

  • move from promising internal app to supportable internal platform
  • sequence dependencies in a risk-reducing order
  • make ownership and milestone thinking explicit
Phase 1: identity and org foundation

Establish who can sign in, what Builder Relations truth the app trusts, and how entitlements are mapped.

  • define Okta SSO path
  • identify authoritative org source
  • define entitlement mapping rules
  • define break-glass admin posture
Phase 2: internal runtime foundation

Move the admin control plane and service layer toward a Kanopy-ready operating model.

  • define Kanopy runtime boundaries
  • define ingress, callback, and environment model
  • define deploy verification and rollback standards
Phase 3: telemetry and governance

Make the platform measurable and reviewable through dashboards, audit events, and ownership models.

  • define telemetry stack
  • define audit-event scope
  • define dashboard ownership
  • define review cadence
Phase 4: internal rollout gate

Use a controlled readiness gate before broader internal adoption.

  • complete readiness checklist
  • review leadership sponsorship needs
  • approve pilot or wider rollout

Milestone framing​

Milestone 1

Named owners exist for identity, org truth, Kanopy, and observability decisions.

Milestone 2

Okta and Builder Relations access model is documented well enough to support implementation planning.

Milestone 3

Kanopy runtime boundaries, environment model, and deployment expectations are clear.

Milestone 4

Telemetry and dashboard ownership are defined with a minimum production baseline.

Milestone 5

Internal readiness checklist can be used for a pilot or broader rollout decision.

Shared owner labels​

Use these owner labels consistently across the operationalization handbook:

  • Corporate Identity and Security Engineering
  • Builder Relations Operations and Org Systems
  • Internal Platform Engineering
  • Application Engineering
  • Product Management
  • Security Engineering and App Administrators

These labels are placeholders for planning clarity. Replace them with named teams or individuals when ownership becomes official.

Suggested working cadence​

  • weekly operationalization working session across product, engineering, and ops
  • decision log updates after each stakeholder conversation
  • readiness review at the end of each major phase
  • leadership review at milestone boundaries rather than only at the end

Risk

Program risk to avoid

Do not let the workstream fragment into unrelated technical tasks. Identity, org-aware access, Kanopy, and telemetry should be managed as one coordinated program because each one changes the assumptions of the others.
