Release Trains Day-to-Day
You have an ART; now what? This is where the fun begins. There are so many things that happen every day in an ART that it is easy to quickly get overwhelmed. How to keep everything aligned and who is responsible for managing the everyday workings of the ART can be a challenge. The Troika, which we discussed in the previous chapter, plays an important part. In this chapter, we will look at the day-to-day activities that occur in the ART, as well as activities and actions for key ART roles, including RTE, Product Management, and the System Architect.
In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:
- Synchronization and Cadence
- The Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP)
- Tooling
- Day-to-day – Product Management
- Day-to-day – System Architect
- Day-to-day – the Release Train Engineer
- The Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration
