Exactly. All of our code requires two reviews (one from a lead if it’s to a shared environment), and deploying to production also requires approval of 3 people:
project manager
product owner
quality assurance
And it gets jointly verified immediately after deploy by QA and customer support/product owner. If we want an exception to our deploy rules (low QA pass rate, deploy within business hours, someone important is on leave, etc), we need the director to sign off.
We have <100 people total on the development org, probably closer to 50. We’re a relatively large company, but a relatively small tech team within a non-tech company (we manufacture stuff, and the SW is to support customers w/ our stuff).
I can’t imagine we’re too far outside the norms as far as big org deployments work. So that means that several people saw this change and decided it was fine. Or at least that’s what should happen with a multi-billion dollar company (much larger than ours).
