The constant fixation on tools to ‘make’ people do something will repeat failure history again. Development leadership lack governance control or operationa experience to realize the need for release management. The moniker might have been better made OpDev to indicate who is really service who. The value of new capability is only realized in Operations. What companies are practicing integrated release management across development and operations? Another chasm is a failure to define and manage well with the tools that CLM will eventually give orders to first. To succeed the layer under CLM must run 6 months in operations with the standards that CLM will enforce before trying to implement CLM.
