Impact of Agile Software Development On Release Management
Agile software development methodologies have driven radically higher numbers of release events in organizations where it has been adopted. More release events have corresponded to increased pressure on release management teams and their colleagues in IT Operations to track and execute complex application release processes. Operations teams have used methodologies—such as Information Technology Infrastructure Library ITIL v3 Book: Service Transition (which contains a section on release management) to improve their release management capabilities as they relate to both business applications and internal IT services. Agile has also driven development and operations teams to collaborate more closely during production release events—this trend is referred to as DevOps.
