CM Crossroads Feature Article
Behaviorally Speaking- Release Management Essentials
By Bob Aiello

Reprinted here with Permission

CM CrossroadsRelease Management is one of the most important functions in Configuration Management (CM). In fact, it is pretty common for many technology professionals to actually believe that Release Management is all there really is to CM. I usually advocate that CM has a much wider focus than just RM, but there can be no denying that good RM is just essential for the success of any technology project. It's also true that there are some RM related functions that are, in turn, essential for a team's success. Read on if you want to implement the most essential RM functions for an organization's success!
