Release Registration and Assess

Releases may be raised either as the result of advanced planning activities, so they are coordinated with planned maintenance windows, or in response to a change request or group of change requests. The release should contain changes that are planned to be executed together, either because they all affect the same service or because they will be executed during the same release window. During the Assess phase the importance and value of the release should be determined and documented in the release record.
