Description:

Release Management is the relatively new but rapidly growing discipline within software engineering of managing software releases.

As software systems, software development processes, and resources become more distributed, they invariably become more specialized and complex. Furthermore, software products (especially web applications) are typically in an ongoing cycle of development, testing, and release. Add to this an evolution and growing complexity of the platforms on which these systems run, and it becomes clear there are a lot of moving pieces that must fit together seamlessly to guarantee the success and long-term value of a product or project.

This book covers every detail, including some missed in other books. This thorough book provides a clear roadmap to designing, implementing and operating Release Management. The author leaves no key process out and completely covers everything from initial concept to measuring support effectiveness and process improvement.
