Release management involves the coordination of development, testing, and deployment processes to ensure technology solutions are delivered effectively within time and budget constraints, are free from defects, and meet the requirements of the business.
Release management may encompass several processes related to version control and change tracking, continuous integration and automated deployment of updates, artifact creation and management, and updating related knowledge management systems and documentation.
Effective release management underpins an organization’s ability to absorb and adopt new technologies or changes to its existing processes and systems, and governs its agility and velocity in responding to changes in business or market conditions.
