Confidently Deliver Solutions with Realistic Release Schedules and Expectations

Traditional release management processes are clunky. The resulting release schedules and change management plans are inflexible and inaccurate, which risks business disruptions and may lead to a lot of rework. The lack of communication, visibility, and coordination across siloed teams makes it difficult to accommodate business, task, and system dependencies.

Your Challenge

• Cross-functional collaboration is critical for accurate estimates and schedules. Revealing issues early in the planning stage helps level set expectations because of a common understanding of release complexities.
• Having a release manager is essential for smooth releases. A release manager is the connective tissue between stages and provides guidance in effective release strategies and practices.
• Release management must account for changing business priorities. Understanding and planning around business collisions and changing environments are critical for timely and valuable releases.
