Modules · Release management

Release one instance at a time, with nothing out of sight.

Release management groups approved changes into a release, tracks its deployment on each instance and keeps watch over the days that follow.

Benefits

  • A release that groups approved changesEach release gathers at least one change and only goes ahead with its exit checklist complete.
  • Deployment tracked instance by instanceEach instance has its own status and date: a postponement or a failure blocks no other instance.
  • The following days under watchA heightened-monitoring period attaches to the release the tickets that appear after deployment.
  • Release notes readyWritten with a preview and exported as Markdown or PDF.

How it works

01

Plan

Title, type, owner, deployment window, target instances and grouped changes.

02

Prepare

The exit checklist covers testing, communication, documentation and approvals.

03

Deploy

Each instance moves from pending to deployed, with a justified postponement or a failure and retry.

04

Follow up

During heightened monitoring, tickets related to the release are attached and analysed before closure.
