Release Management

What is a Release?

Release Management is the process that handles software deployments and change initiatives. It is all about enabling an organization’s systems and services to change support evolving business needs. It is the process of coordinating the movement of project into production environments where they can be consumed by end-users.

It starts with planning what will be contained within a release, managing the software build through different stages and environments, testing stability and finally, deployment.
