Release management oversees the planning, scheduling, and controlling of software builds throughout the entire software development lifecycle. Release management outlines the critical stages or phases of your project, from the birth of the idea to building a new feature, then testing and releasing it. We conducted a global survey with over 300 project managers and technical writers and listed how to get releases right. There are various challenges they face.

Some of them are releasing newer versions of your software, and communicating those changes to the end users tends to be a tedious and time-consuming activity. Release notes are often needed in different formats, consistent with the branding & previous release notes, highlighting and communicating changes to stakeholders – the effort is massive. As a manager, you would find it challenging to keep track of release notes for customers, as they have to decide if the version changes have any other dependencies. Automating the release notes is a savior in this scenario. Automation is proven to boost sales productivity by 14.5% and reduce overheads by 12.2%.
