Why this works

The 'rollback impact if skipped' column is the key addition — it makes the consequences of skipping validation steps explicit, which is how you prevent the 'we'll check that later' decisions that cause go-live failures.

Risks & review

Risks: Cutover checklists must be tested in rehearsal migrations before the actual cutover. Control: Project team runs a dry-run migration and updates the checklist based on findings before the production cutover weekend.
