Release Management
The release management architecture is the set of conceptual patterns that support the movement of pre-production technical resources into production. Pre-production includes all the activities that are necessary to prove that a particular resource is appropriate for the technical, business, and operational environment and does not exceed a risk profile for a particular task. Significant release management patterns include those for release scheduling, release acceptance, and audit. Release management plays a vital role both as a process and as a set of technologies and it provides a vital control point for request, change, and configuration management processes and architectures.
