releasegodkjenning

Releasegodkjenning, often translated as release approval or release authorization, is a formal process within software development and other project management contexts that ensures a product or change is ready for public release. This stage involves a review and sign-off by designated stakeholders, such as product managers, quality assurance teams, or senior management. The primary goal is to verify that the release meets predefined quality standards, business objectives, and compliance requirements.

The process typically begins after all development and testing phases are considered complete. A release candidate is presented, and the approval team assesses various aspects. This assessment commonly includes reviewing test results, evaluating any outstanding critical bugs, confirming that all planned features are implemented, and ensuring that documentation is up-to-date. Risk assessment is also a key component, identifying potential issues that might arise post-release.

Successful releasegodkjenning signifies that the product or update is deemed stable, reliable, and valuable enough for deployment. If the release candidate does not meet the required criteria, it is typically sent back for further development or testing, delaying the release. This systematic approach helps mitigate risks, maintain product quality, and ensure customer satisfaction by preventing premature or flawed releases. The specific criteria and individuals involved in releasegodkjenning can vary significantly depending on the organization and the nature of the project.
