Deployment & MLOps Checklist for Prototypes

This interactive checklist helps teams move a prototype into a safe, observable deployment without prematurely over‑engineering. Use it to confirm minimal required practices, assign ownership, capture gaps, and save a snapshot of readiness. Each checked item should be backed by a link, artifact, or short note.

Quick overall rating to help prioritize follow-up work.
1.0 10.0
Check the minimal container and environment practices that are in place.
Provide links to Dockerfiles, image registry, build instructions, or short notes.
Minimal versioning and provenance for models and dependencies.
Link to model registry entries, storage buckets, or version tags.
Confirm minimal CI/CD steps that reduce risk and preserve iteration speed.
Link to pipeline definitions, YAML, or runbooks.
Basic monitoring that surfaces failures, performance regressions, and drift.
Provide links to dashboards, alert runbooks, and example signals.
Minimal practices to recover quickly from bad deployments.
Link to incident runbooks and example rollback commands.
Ensure labeled data and quality checks exist for iterative improvement.
Links to labeling tools, datasets, or instructions.
Decide how and when models are retrained and validated.
Link to retraining pipeline, validation suites, and approval process.
Minimal safeguards to reduce risk and cost surprises.
Link to security assessments, cost dashboards, or approvals.
Ensure these artifacts are available and linked where possible.
Paste links or storage locations for each artifact.
Who owns the deployed prototype? Include name and role.
Primary contact for incidents or questions.
Yes if a minimal SLA or expected response time is agreed.
Short list of follow-up actions, owners, and due dates.
