CAPM Practice: Determine how to prepare and execute task management steps

Continuous deployment means every merged code change automatically deploys to production. This requires tasks to be sized as small, independently deployable changes, automated testing built into task completion criteria, and feature toggles for incomplete features in production.

**Why not A:** Deploying once at the end of the project describes a traditional waterfall release model, which is the opposite of continuous deployment. Continuous deployment means every approved change goes to production automatically, not as a single batch at project completion.

**Why not B:** Requiring project manager approval for each deployment introduces a manual bottleneck that contradicts the "continuous" nature of continuous deployment. The process is automated through pipelines that run tests and deploy without human gatekeeping for each individual change.

**Why not D:** Deploying team members to client sites is a staffing arrangement, not a software deployment practice. This answer confuses the technical concept of code deployment with the physical assignment of personnel.
