What is a staging environment? I haven't heard of it before in relation to IT.

It goes by many names. It is where you have a smaller version of the production system with test data where all changes can be proven to work before they are put into the actual production environment.


Sometimes management provides direct support for getting the hardware to set one of these things up. Other times you need to scrounge parts from wherever. Running without one could be "BAD".
