Release phases and transitions

Service Manager uses phases to describe the steps necessary to complete a release. The phase also determine the release screens users see, the approvals required to advance to the next phase, and the conditions that cause the system to issue notification and alerts. Each phase has workflow transitions that control how the release record will move through the workflow. When the work for a given phase has been completed the user will advance it to the next phase. If the release has encountered a failure condition then the release may be move back to an earlier phase for rework or abandoned.
