release

A planned package of one or more components, possibly from more than one product, scheduled to be deployed to production in a single deployment window.

Key Points

  • Groups changes into a deployable package with a shared schedule.
  • May include features, fixes, and technical updates from multiple teams or products.
  • Requires integration, testing, documentation, and approvals before deployment.
  • Managed through a release plan/calendar and communicated to stakeholders.

Example

A fintech program bundles a new KYC workflow, an API version upgrade, and database migrations into a quarterly release, promoting them to production during one approved change window.

  4. User story
