Who Needs Release Management, Anyway?

Release management has changed drastically in a world where some combination of DevOps, continuous deployment, feature flags and continuous integration are practiced. Since DevOps automates and streamlines development and CI/CD on a continual basis, is there still a role for release management? Someone (or some kind of automation) needs to set clear criteria for release content, dependencies, testing and quality.
In this episode, we'll discuss:
- The role of release management in DevOps
- Whether or not release management is still required
- How DevOps and Agile changed how we perform release management
- How development, QA, product management and security work together to implement a release management process
- How automated and continuous deployment changes how we test and release software
