Approving the Runbook
After all Tasks have been approved (this must include any Backout tasks), you must then Approve the Runbook. You can Approve the Runbook as long as you are part of the Deployment Team and of Manager Authorisation level and above.
Approve Runbook
Navigate to the Runbook Panel.
Click Approve.
On successful Runbook Approval, the Runbook transitions to a Scheduled state (see below) and all Tasks and the Runbook are in a state of Scheduled. Continue the Approval process by clicking on Commit.
After approving a Task, the duration is baselined. Timestamp rules are listed below and can be found in more detail here: Task approval
Every Task in the ICEFLO system has three durations stored against it and they can all be reviewed and compared.
- Baseline Duration - this is editable for any pre-approved Task. The baseline duration can never be changed after approval.
- Planned Duration - this is editable for any approved Task which is not yet Available or Pending.
- Actual* Duration - how long did the task actually take based on activation and completion times.
* Forecast Duration is monitored and stored temporarily in the Actual Duration field until a completion time is established.
