Where this term is useful
These are related contexts, not prerequisites.
Back in the project
When it comes up: When moving from local work to real delivery.
What to do next: Confirm environment, startup, data protection, and rollback; test the real entry.

A successful build does not prove deployment or user success.
Everyday examples explain roles and relationships; actual behavior follows the tool, language, or platform.
