  • Proactively communicate release status, risks, and mitigation strategies to development, operations, and business stakeholders.
  • Maintain release-related documentation and ensure its availability to all teams.

• Enforcement of Policies and Procedures

  • Approving source code changes—this operation is managed through configuration files scattered throughout the codebase
  • Specifying the actions to be performed during the release process
  • Creating a new release
  • Approving the initial integration proposal (which is a request to perform a build at a specific revision number in the source code repository) and subsequent cherry picks
  • Deploying a new release
  • Making changes to a project’s build configuration
