Release management
The controlled process of shipping software safely with the ability to recover quickly.
Release management is the controlled process of shipping software changes safely - versioning, change tracking, staged rollout, and rollback - so the team can ship often and recover fast without breaking trust.
A release is only 'controlled' when you can detect issues, explain what changed, and roll back quickly. That requires CI/CD, observability, and clear release gates.
