Release
Management
Challenges
▪ Many disparate information sources: Wikis, emails, Excel sheets,
CI tools, Change Management tools etc. + mix of manual &
automated steps
▪ Results in lots of unpleasant surprises, stressful problem fixing,
reactive management, no shared insight
▪ No audit trail when the release deviates from the plan
Releases are:
▪ Unpredictable and inefficient
▪ Prone to “unpleasant surprises”
▪ Nobody knows what’s going on
