Release planning is the first stage of release and deployment management<\/strong> that sets the foundation<\/strong> for a set of changes, whether it be minor, major, or an emergency situation.<\/p>\n

Effective release and deployment management that starts with a proper planning process<\/strong> allows the service provider to add value<\/strong> by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Delivering change at a quicker pace and at an optimum cost with minimum risks involved.<\/p><\/li>\n

  • \n

    Giving assurance to the customers and users that they can make use of the changed service in a way that can support their business goals.<\/p><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

    Establishing a thorough, standardized planning process<\/strong> also ensures better communication with change management<\/strong> and other personnel who are affected by various IT service changes. <\/p>\n

    The main aim of a release and deployment plan is to clearly illustrate a set of guidelines<\/strong> regarding what should be included<\/strong> in a release and how it will be deployed<\/strong> into production.<\/p>\n

    This checklist enables you to do just that, walking you through:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Summarizing the release<\/li>\n
    • Conducting a risk analysis<\/li>\n
    • Identifying the target audience<\/li>\n
    • Defining a chain of approval<\/li>\n
    • Defining the strategy for deployment<\/li>\n
    • Determining a time schedule<\/li>\n
    • Gaining approval from change management<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

      This is how to get your upcoming release off to a great start. <\/strong><\/p>\n
