Software Release Sign-Offs


Introduced and defined software release sign-offs for major and minor releases to incorporate all stakeholder engagement and activity.

The sign-offs ensured that all stakeholders collaborated towards a release while avoiding handoffs and waterfall practices to build and ship code efficiently.


Software Development Department: Plan -> Code -> Build -> Test -> Release -> Deploy -> Operate -> Monitor -> Repeat

Marketing Department: Marketing materiel and Release Communications.

Training Department: Training assets and Product Demonstrations.

Support Department: Application Support for internal and external customers.

In our case, sign-offs ensured any value added, is deployed to the users within a maximum period of 2 weeks, within an overall 6 week release velocity/cycle.
