Anti-patterns

  1. Lack of Unified Release Planning: Teams plan and execute releases independently without a unified roadmap or coordination.

  2. Ignoring Risk Assessment: Release planning is done without proper risk assessment or preparation for potential issues.

  3. Inadequate Incident Response Preparation: The team lacks a well-defined process for handling incidents, especially critical ones that require urgent attention.

  4. Over-Reliance on Manual Processes: Key processes, including testing and deployment, rely heavily on manual steps rather than automation.

  5. Poor Dependency Management: Dependencies between different teams and components are not properly managed or communicated.

  6. Frequent and Uncontrolled Releases: Releasing updates too frequently without sufficient testing or oversight, often driven by the pressure to deliver features quickly.

  7. Insufficient Communication Between Teams: Development teams work in silos with minimal communication, leading to misalignment and duplicated efforts.

  8. Failure to Adapt to Project-Specific Needs: Applying a one-size-fits-all release management strategy without considering the specific needs of the project or team.
