Release management is the practice of planning, checking, approving and shipping a set of changes as one release, so a team knows what is going out, when, and whether it is ready.
Definition
Release management is the practice of planning, checking, approving and shipping a set of changes as one release, so a team knows what is going out, when, and whether it is ready.
A release groups the work that ships together: the tasks and fixes in scope, a version, a target date and the environments it moves through. Release management makes that group visible and decides when it is safe to ship.
The core of the practice is readiness. A release carries a checklist (tests passed, notes written, rollback planned), sign-offs from the people accountable for it, and a record of every deployment, so the decision to ship rests on evidence rather than memory.
In Atlas a release is built from the tasks already in your projects. It can start from a template with its checklist and pipeline filled in, shows readiness as it changes, collects approvals, records deployments per environment, and writes release notes from the work that shipped.
