Release management is a critical discipline within software development and IT operations that focuses on the planning, scheduling, coordination and deployment of software releases. It includes the procedures, plans and methods employed to guarantee that software updates or items are sent to customers in a secure and effective way. Traditional release management approaches often face several challenges such as manual and time-consuming processes, lack of visibility and traceability, complex and fragmented environments, limited collaboration and communication and a lack of effective communication channels and collaboration tools. These challenges can hinder the efficient and effective delivery of software releases.
