Traditionally, software development management is a recurring cycle of planning, scheduling, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting new versions of the corporate IT-system or conpanie’s software product.
Today, while the world and business needs change quicker and most organizations require:
- Frequent updates for their increasingly complex IT-systems.

- Effective collaboration within the release context between IT professionals and other engaged departments.
