To define the standard process for Technical Leads to provide frontline technical leadership, escalation support, and deployment governance during cutovers and revisits.
Scope: Applies to all deployments/cutovers and revisit activities where field technicians are dispatched to stores and a Technical Lead is assigned for oversight and escalation.
- Maintain the on call/coverage schedule and communicate coverage details to the deployment team.
-
Serve as initial escalation point for technicians and coordinate troubleshooting via chat/phone/bridge.
-
Establish and manage the command center bridge when multiple stores/teams are active.
-
Track technician check-ins, address delays/no-shows, and ensure timely communications to stakeholders (team and store manager).
-
Authorize technician release from site only after completion criteria are met and required submissions are received.
-
Perform next-business-day review of reports, photos, and comments; initiate issue resolution and schedule revisits as required.
-
Verify compliance with required tools/forms (e.g., JotForm and Fluix, where applicable).
- Maintain a rotating on-call schedule for cutovers and publish coverage details before each deployment window.
-
Provide support to technicians via approved channels (chat and phone) throughout the cutover window.
-
When multiple stores (typically 3-4) are staffed with new teams, establish a command center bridge and manage communications, escalations, and status updates.
- Provide deployment assistance: Support technicians during deployment cutovers and coordinate troubleshooting/escalations as needed.
-
Act as initial point of contact: Receive and triage incoming issues, then engage additional resources when required.
-
Enforce technician check-in: Technicians must check in upon arrival onsite. If a scheduled technician does not check in within the expected arrival window, the Technical Lead must follow up promptly.
-
Manage schedule changes: Communicate delays or unforeseen circumstances requiring rescheduling to the deployment team immediately and notify the store manager as soon as possible.
-
Control site release: Technicians must not leave site until all deployment aspects have been reviewed and approved by the Technical Lead.
- Deployment is complete and required photos have been shared.
-
All reported issues are resolved, or a documented revisit plan is in place.
-
JotForm has been submitted (required).
-
Fluix report has been submitted (if required for the deployment).
- Review end-of-day reports on the next business day.
-
Review technician photos and written comments for completeness and quality.
-
Identify issues and either resolve them or document and schedule required revisits.
- Schedule Technical Lead coverage for morning support on revisit days.
-
Provide technicians an overview upon arrival, including scope, known issues, and success criteria.
-
Provide ongoing assistance during the revisit and coordinate escalations as required.
-
Release technicians from site only after tasks are complete and review criteria are met.
-
Verify required submissions for compliance (JotForm and/or Fluix, as applicable).
Expectation: Field technicians follow the steps below for every cutover and revisit and must obtain Technical Lead approval before leaving site.
- Pre-arrival readiness: Review the work order and deployment guide, along with the scope of work provided for each store. Also, verify required deliverables (photos, forms, reports). Confirm you have required tools/equipment and can meet the scheduled arrival window.
-
Arrive onsite and check in (required): Check in with the store manager (if applicable) and notify the Technical Lead immediately upon arrival. Share your start time and any constraints (access, inventory, safety, after-hours limitations).
-
Perform cutover/revisit tasks: Execute the required tasks per the deployment guide. Provide status updates to the Technical Lead at key milestones and whenever progress is blocked.
-
Escalate issues early (do not wait): If you encounter blockers, errors, missing equipment, or unexpected site conditions, contact the Technical Lead right away. Include: store number/location, summary of the issue, steps already completed, current state, and supporting photos/screenshots.
-
Capture required evidence: Take clear before/after photos and any additional evidence needed for verification or troubleshooting. Follow the team naming/labeling convention.
-
Submit required paperwork before requesting release: Submit the JotForm (required) and Fluix report (if applicable). Ensure timestamps, notes, and open items are accurate and complete.
-
Request release and DO NOT leave site without approval: Confirm completion with the Technical Lead and obtain explicit approval before leaving site. If a revisit is required, confirm the agreed scope, owner, and next steps before departure.
