Define the workflow

Release coordination, support triage, feedback synthesis, store-listing upkeep, and development-team administration.

Run the first three steps

Define what is a bug, support request, feature request, or incident; Build a release checklist with evidence for each gate; Route security, privacy, and payment issues directly to accountable specialists

Protect the decision boundary

Do not give production, signing-key, billing, or customer-data access when a narrower support permission will work.
