My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.
For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.
What is Digital Product Release?
ServiceNow's Digital Product Release (DPR) feature serves as a centralized orchestrator for managing the complete lifecycle of software and service releases, enabling organizations to streamline planning and delivery with automated release readiness checks and real-time visibility into release progress and compliance for all stakeholders. By integrating with existing development and deployment tools, it offers a dedicated workspace that consolidates release planning, tasks, policies, risk scoring, and change requests, leveraging reusable templates and policy-driven automation to validate release preparedness and reduce manual overhead. This approach ensures consistent, data-driven governance across distributed product teams while helping IT maintain oversight and accelerate release cycles through simplified processes and end-to-end traceability, making scaling modern software delivery far more efficient and compliant.
