Understanding Releases

A release is a common scheduling mechanism that organizations use to package projects or work requests to make them available to customers. In PeopleSoft Program Management, release or program managers can define releases and release types, associate projects, issues, change requests, and risks to releases, and view a list of projects by release.

Organizations have programs, projects, and releases. Programs are large initiatives that might contain multiple projects and span multiple releases. Projects or work requests can be components of programs and are made available to customers through releases. This diagram illustrates the relationship between programs, projects, and releases:

Program B includes projects one and two. Program C includes projects three, four, and five. Within release management, projects one, three, and five are part of the June release, and projects two and four are part of the July release.

You must define a release before you associate it with a project. Releases are defined using the Release Management component.
