Release Management

A manager's roles are:

• Facilitator: serves as a liaison between varying business units to promote smooth and timely delivery of software products or updates.
• Gatekeeper: “holds the keys” to production systems/applications and takes responsibility for their implementations.
• Architect: helps to identify, create and/or implement processes or products to efficiently manage the release of code.
• Server application support engineer: help troubleshoot problems with an application (although not typically at a code level).
• Coordinator: utilized to coordinate disparate source trees, projects, teams and components.

Some of the challenges facing a software release manager include the management of:

• Software defects
• Issues
• Risks
• Software change requests
• New development requests (additional features and functions)
• Deployment and packaging
• New development tasks
