NYC VS UG: Release Management is Complex & Inefficient
Release Management is Complex & Inefficient
Complex - Release management encompasses every aspect of the software development lifecycle, requires knowledge of various
operating systems, software application platforms, and an intimate understanding of the different business functions and their
diverse perspectives.
Inefficient - Software teams spend too much time and effort executing the release process. Manual and semi-manual processes
are both cumbersome and error prone --- rendering the release process slow, costly and unpredictable. Despite the key contribution
from each department, disparate and disjointed tools plague the process with inefficiencies.
Claude will address the many challenges and best practices related to Release Management and will introduce InRelease 2010.
InRelease addresses these problems head-on by providing an automated release management solution that leverages Microsoft
Visual Studio. InRelease makes release management predictable, transparent and efficient. Moreover, and by means of enabling
solid release management practices, InRelease ensures that when software is built, it will be successfully deployed to customers
for consumption. Sound release management affords the opportunity to satisfy existing customers and win new ones as well.
