13. Release Coordination Challenges
o
Many disparate information sources: Wikis, emails, Excel sheets, CI
tools, Change Management tools etc.
o
Mix of manual & automated steps
o
Application dependencies
o
No audit trail when the release deviates from the plan
Releases are:
o
Unpredictable and inefficient
o
Lots of unpleasant surprises, stressful problem fixing, reactive
management
o
Nobody knows what’s going on

coordination software solution that allows you to:

replacing manual with automated tasks
and standardizing release plans
