Release Management with Jira: Practical Insights

Release Management with Jira: Practical Insights

At JiraCon23, my co-founder Guillaume Vial presented a session on "Mastering Release & Deployment Tracking in Jira". In the present article, I’ll share key concepts from that session, plus additional insights. For a full, detailed version, the conference recording is available, but this piece will guide you through actionable steps that teams can apply to improve release management in Jira.

Guillaume’s vision is simple: make Jira users' lives easier by creating transparency and automation around releases. Imagine a world where testers know exactly where to start without chasing information, and developers focus on coding without updating Jira tickets manually.
