    Mainly used in release management where all deployments are well managed and processed further based on the approval system. Complete enterprise-level solution with minor difficulties which need to be added to product improvement features. Integration with other CI-CD tools makes it easier to perform tasks in terms of release and deployments.

    • XL Release allowing our Jenkins toolchain to control the beginning of release trains which is very powerful.
    • XL release allows us to expose the business process flow for anyone to read direct at the source which runs the process instead of a separate vision.

    Usability
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    The tool is easy to use, easy to navigate and learn. Manages releases with proper approvals in a systematic manner. Though it needs minor improvements in terms of pagination (data loading), access management, but, overall the tool helps in increasing productivity and less time for production deployments.

    Support is not good at all. To this day, I have to mail my queries and their support site does not log in for me (me alone). But, upon contacting many times, no one helps with a proper response. Though good thing is, I get a proper response over mail too. But, being informative about the tool and not on the issues faced by users outside of the process to get support should also be addressed equally. Which is currently missing in support.

    XL release is simpler to configure and deploy to the organization than other change management platforms I have used. That simplicity has minor drawbacks requiring you to fit into a limited set of control methods but that exercise helped us simplify a needlessly onerous process.

    • XL release has improved our consistency of release process, removing multiple days worth of manual status checking and coordination.
    • XL release has allowed us to increase the number of beta releases we can support due to simplifying our release actions.

    ScreenShots

    Planview Release Screenshots

    Screenshot of Project Release - A project release is tracking the state of an individual release, which is the norm for the more agile releases. The project releases have two types: Project - For normal project work and Independent (can be renamed) - often used for emergency or non-project tracked work. For example, it is quite common to rename the independent release to Emergency, so these release types can be easily distinguished.Screenshot of Release Workflow - Each release has a Status allowing you to track the current progress of the release, and a release type (e.g. Minor, Major, Emergency). You are also able to define a workflow through the States for each release type.Screenshot of Enterprise Release - The “Enterprise Release” feature groups two or more Project Releases together. The project releases may have different timescales for their development, but must come together when entering production, and must be tested together before being released.Screenshot of Release Views - You can see the Releases in a Calendar view, or in a schedule view to see more of a lifecycle breakdown.Screenshot of Release Dependencies - Your ALM tool will handle dependencies between tasks (User Stories) but often do not allow the easy coordination of Releases between different or even the same product teams. Release allows you to specify the order in which releases should be implemented, allowing teams to see what the potential impacts of delaying their releases are.
