Grammar

Verb te-form + もよろしいでしょうか

Very polite permission request: "May I…?" Politer than 〜てもいいですか.

Noun + 済み

Indicates completion: 確認済み = "already confirmed."

Noun + 後に

After (an event): デプロイ後に = "after deploying."

Cultural Notes

Formality level

てもよろしいでしょうか is high-polite, appropriate when asking a senior for go-ahead on something risky like a deploy.

Workplace etiquette

Reporting after the action (デプロイ後に報告します) closes the 報連相 loop — always confirm completion.

Common mistake

Don't deploy silently. Announcing intent and reporting completion is expected even for routine releases.
