Abstract

Frequent Releases is a looser and more relaxed version of Continuous Deployment. Their primary purpose is to put new or updated products into the hands of the end-user community quickly to gather feedback and respond rapidly to change requests. A release plan is used to define the frequency and timing of releases, and they can occur after each sprint or on a calendar schedule. Monthly releases that include the product increments of two two-week sprints are common among large agile organizations.
