Troy's Thunder Bolt Tip of The Day Release and deployment two different parts of the process, release is production assurance, governance that attest it's ready to go primetime, deployment is after the change approval to promote is the one that packages and pushes to the organization. Two separate and distinct processes with different goals maybe even roles. Troy's Thoughts What About Yours?
