##How deploy workflow relates to QA
-
We deploy one sprint at a time. At the end of a sprint the release is pushed to Stage under a code freeze for new features/stories. All stories are QA'd Accepted stories are ready to push to Prod as is. Bugs can be fixed before the sprint is deployed to Prod. OR Bugs can be added to the next sprint if it's OK to deploy the buggy story anyway. The deploy to Prod only happens after all stories on Stage are triaged.
-
After a sprint is deployed to Prod, Stage becomes the staging ground for the next sprint.
