Outcome

Create a controlled work order from a completed plan and follow it through execution gates.

Before you begin

  • A completed plan
  • A configured Local Runner or cloud execution option
  • Repository access for the target work
Review the evidence on a waiting gate before approving or rejecting the next Build step.
Confirm repository scope, execution policy, and acceptance criteria before starting a Build run.
Follow each Build step and inspect its evidence before the workflow advances.

Prepare the plan

Confirm scope, acceptance criteria, target repository, resource links, and outcome. Build should begin from a plan that no longer has unresolved product decisions.

Create a work order

Select Start Build, review the generated work order, choose the target repository and execution policy, and confirm the test expectations.

Choose a runner

Use Local Runner when work must execute in your managed environment. Use cloud execution only when its isolation and credential policy match the repository. Confirm the runner is healthy before starting.

Review gates

Monitor steps and logs. Approve a gate only after checking the requested evidence. Reject or cancel when the run diverges from scope, exposes unsafe behavior, or cannot satisfy required tests.

Confirm the outcome

Review the final diff, test results, and delivery reference. Link the release and outcome after the change ships so product intent and observed result remain connected.
