📦 Release first ⏩ Ship faster ⚡

🚀 Why are releases important?

Since many products/systems run software these days, they can be improved after the initial release. Most software projects have "releases" when a new version of the software is deployed or made available.

Why are releases so important? Some reasons:

  • Communicates to customers an update is available and what changed.

  • Provides a cadence for doing work.

  • Encourages development teams to "ship". Shipping is motivating.

  • Delivers more value to the customer.

  • Helps us isolate problems if we know what is running and what changed.
