Release Management and Change Control Questions
Planning and governing releases: release cadence and trains, versioning of releases, approval gates, coordinated multi-service releases, and change-management workflows. Covers documenting and controlling changes, adapting release process to delivery needs, and managing the human sign-off around shipping. The concern is the process and governance of releasing, not the deployment mechanics themselves.
Describe a release checklist for a minor release (non-breaking, backward-compatible) and specify which stakeholders should sign off on each item (engineering, QA, product, security, SRE). Include pre-release checks, migration plans, monitoring setup, and post-release validation steps.
Create a branching and release-management policy that minimizes long-lived branches yet supports emergency hotfixes. Include naming conventions, PR rules, branch protection rules, who can approve hotfixes, and the emergency rollback protocol.
