About Release Manager

The Release Manager module helps to manage new product development and release cycles from start to finish. Release Manager uses data collected in Siebel Field Service to help guide product feature selection and development.

Release Manager assists with numerous release-related activities. Users can perform the following tasks:

• Communicate feature descriptions throughout the organization.
• Prioritize features to implement the most important features.
• Develop marketing requirements documents (MRDs) for engineers to use as product specifications.
• Allocate engineering resources and track engineering tasks.
• Track QA test plan development and test execution.
• Track documentation development.
• Track activities associated with release items.
• Monitor development status.

The Release Manager and Siebel Quality modules of Siebel Field Service work together. After you release a product, the Siebel Quality module tracks the product improvement process and channels requests for improvements to future releases. For more information about the Siebel Quality module, see Quality Management.
