OUR DAILY MOTIVATION

“It’s hard enough for software developers to write code

that works on their machine. But even when it’s done,

there’s a long journey from there to software that’s

producing value – since software only produces value

when it’s in production.”

Martin Fowler

BENEFITS OF RELEASE MANAGEMENT

More productive employees

Improve quality of

software in production

Faster time to market

BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION

Minimizing of monotonous work

More time for creative work

Automated tasks are faster than manual tasks

Improvement of quality

In the long run: automated processes cost less than manual

processes

CONCLUSION

SUMMARY

Another gap in ALM with TFS closed

Powerful tool

Full traceability

Not fully integrated, yet

Some difficulties in detail

Good starting point

Deploy to production might not be suitable for all customers

ADDITIONAL TOPICS

Outlook:

Security concept

Execute tests with Release Management

Configuration of tokens (dealing with different settings on

each environment)

Deploy to Azure

Whats happened since RTM version?– Improvement in integration of external build deliveries

– Server tags - Copy & Paste of Workflows is no longer required

– Shipping with Update 3: Support of Desired State Configuration (DSC)
