ABSTRACT
There are many facets to the successful implementation of a release management process; they range from understanding the basic concepts to the benefits derived for the business user. Managing cultural aspects such as selling the benefits, gaining executive support, and determining organizational readiness are as important as creating good processes. Trying to implement a process without the consideration and balance of all of these factors will not be successful. With all implementations there are some components that are more important than others; however, without some traces of the critical success components the implementation will not be balanced. This book will discuss the various components and concepts important to a successful implementation and how they relate to each other.
