The first thing that comes to mind about release management is how frequently releases are made and their levels, i.e. full release or patches. A common understanding of Release Management is that it is the management of introducing controlled items into a production (live) environment. But in reality release management is much more than this. “Release management is the process of planning, building, testing and deploying hardware and software, the version control and storage of software.” (British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, release management, Retrieved from http://www.becta.org.uk/tsas/index.cfm?refsect=ntss&bcsect=default§=release&id=tt5281 ) release management is not just what goes into production but also how something goes into production. It is the complete management of your production environment.
