You dont plan for things to run smoothly, instead you do the testing and make sure all the potential risks are found and adressed to the best of your ability.
The problem with BB deployments is that they seem to not even eliminate the obvious issues, which makes it looks not like a random event you couldnt possibly plan for, but instead a blunder in the release process (or something that doesnt get tested at all).
