Basic Concepts

Objective and Mission The basic definition of release management is ensuring that all aspects that are related within an IT service are considered when creating, building, and implementing a new or subsequent release of that service. This definition can also serve as the objective of release management. If this was to be expanded, words such as repeatable, controllable, and scalable could also be used. So if asked what the objective of release management is, the answer would be:Release management ensures all related components of an IT service are considered when the service is created or modified and provides activities that are repeatable, controllable, scalable, and sustainable.
