To be a project manager there are 2 paths you can take. The proactive path or the reactive path. Just as you do in your personal life, the path you wish to take is individual to each person and is depends on several factors. To be proactive means that you need information. The lack of information will normally cause a project manager to be reactive. To have the knowledge for example the amount of development time required to resolve the issue, what resource is available, what viable alternative options are available etc will enable a project manager to be more proactive rather then reactive.

The less knowledge you have, the more reactive you become, since you will not know what you do not know until something happens.

Typically on the release day, some testing will be done in the production environment to determine if the changes or new application is working as was tested in the user acceptance testing (UAT) in the development environment. ORT will normally be allocated a longer period where the business users will test in the production environment.
