The purpose of this standard operating procedure (SOP) is to ensure that all staff responsible for release and deployment management are aware of the objectives, roles, and procedures involved in every process applied throughout the lifecycle of a release. This document will serve as a best-practice guide and can be used to train new staff who will be involved in release and deployment management.
This template includes SOPs for all phases of the release and deployment management process:
- Planning releases
- Building releases
- Testing releases
- Coordinating with change management
- Deploying releases
- Reporting release and deployment management metrics
The blueprint Stabilize Your Release and Deployment Management will guide you in formalizing this SOP and adapting it for your organization.
