Release management - Process
Continuous delivery
(CD)
Automatically preparing and testing software so it is always ready to be released
What's it for?
Keeps software changes tested and ready to release whenever the team chooses.
For example…
Every merge produces a tested build staged for production; product approves the Friday promotion when marketing is ready
With CD, every approved change is automatically built and tested, leaving a release-ready version that the product manager can choose to deploy later
Think of it like…
Having bags packed by the door — ready to leave whenever you choose
