Release Management: Distribution and rollout phase

After acceptance training and testing is complete, the next step is to deploy the release into the production environment. The process depends on the type and nature of the release and on the selected release mechanism. In all cases, however, the Release Manager should be provided with status reports and, where appropriate, tools and technologies that enable tracking and monitoring of deployment progress. As changes are made to IT components during deployment, corresponding changes are made to the configuration items and relationships modeling them in the CMDB.

The following is a summary of the activities in the Distribution and Rollout phase:

Selects a suitable deployment group for the release
Ensures users are adequately trained in a timely manner for the maximum benefit from the release
Deploys the release into the production environment
Reviews the deployed release, taking into account feedback and comments from all parties involved
Passes the feedback to the change manager for the change review process

Release Management has one out-of-box Update System task created for the Distribution and Rollout phase.

This phase of Release Management contains the plan and design approval type. This approval must be met in order to advance to the next phase (Verification).
