As software
applications have become mission critical resources, the risks
and costs of a failed production release continues to escalate.
At the same time, increased software complexity and supply chain
diversification make achieving a successful release even more
challenging. In the ongoing effort to effectively deliver
quality software on-time and on budget, these factors, along
with a host of others, have brought release management to the
forefront of industry discussion. Join us during this
presentation to hear industry thought leaders talk about what
release management is, why it is important, and how to excel at
it. Discover best (and next) practices for implementing release
management within your organization and how to avoid the common
pitfalls that many companies face. See a new breed of tools that
not only define and enforce release processes, but that combine
information from disparate sources -- such as project management
tools, testing and QA tools, build, SCM, and deployment tools --
into a release portal.
We invite you to join us for this educational web seminar.
