Release Management
description
Cross-team coordination workflow that governs the planning, preparation, execution,
and post-release monitoring of a scheduled software release. Begins with a release
planning meeting where the release manager, engineering leads, and product managers
align on scope, cut-off dates, and go/no-go criteria. A release branch is cut, final
smoke tests and regression suites run in staging, and the release notes are drafted.
On release day the release manager coordinates deployment across environments, monitors
error rates and key metrics, and communicates status to stakeholders. Post-release a
brief retrospective captures what went well and what to improve next cycle.
