Releases

Staying on top of your releases has never been easier.

How can this feature help teams in release management?

The main goal of this form is to become your right-hand man in any release cycle, no matter how complex one.

• The digestible table format brings together the critical information and helps you visualize data such as target release dates, statuses and risk levels.

• As the view of the table may be adjusted to individual requirements and later on saved, the users can prioritize more effectively.

• Thanks to storing information in one space, each team-member is on the same page, improving team-coordination.

• Overall the knowledge base allows the teams to plan better, avoid previous hardships and reach the end-goal: delivering features faster.

• Filter the table by, e.g. Project Owners, remove distractions and quickly gain focus. Remember to save the view for an easy access.

  • The Filter button on top of the table allows you to select your own view of the information in the table. You can add multiple filters.

• Less is more, so if you don't need to view some of the data gathered, adjust the fields that are visible, without losing the information.
