    • Managing a timeline-oriented release involves following a series of deadlines and milestones and adjusting as necessary to keep your release on track.

    Timeline-oriented release process

    Timeline-oriented process is suitable for creating releases that have fixed deadlines and follow a strict schedule.

    The following is the general flow that a timeline-oriented release goes through:
    • The flow starts with the first phase in the Pending state, which is the default state. The state of the phase moves to In Progress when it starts on the planned start date.
    • When all tasks are done and policies are compliant, the phase ends automatically on its planned end date. The phase state updates to the Completed state.
    • After the current phase is completed, the next phase moves to the In Progress state. Only one phase can be in progress at a given time.
    • When all phases in the release are completed, the release moves to the Review state.
    • When the review of the release is completed, the release moves to the Completed state.
